The Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency (KADSEMA), has advised residents to take safety precautions to avert fire outbreaks in the state.
KADSEMA Executive Secretary, Muhammed Mukaddas, made the plea while sympathizing with victims of fire disaster that happened on Friday in Tudun Wada Zaria Market.
Mukaddas said that the market fire occurred at a very crucial time when the wind was high due to the harmattan.
He begged residents to take precautionary measures to avert fire disasters.
Muqaddas assured that the agency in conjunction with the market union leaders would continue to work together to make certain of the causes of the fire for socio-economic development.
A traditional leader, Sarkin Yara, Mr Abdulkadir Magaji, encouraged the victims to accept the incident in good faith.
The Chairman of Tudun Wada Zaria Market Association, Mr Dahiru Shu’aibu, expressed gratitude to the agency for its concern while assuring that the goodwill would advance their relationship.
The cause of the firestorm was being investigated as shops worth millions of naira were wrecked.
