The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service has blamed the fuel scarcity in the country for the increase in fire incidents in the state.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Special Duties and Intergovernmental Relations, Mobolaji Ogunlende, in his remarks, said the state governor was passionate about the state fire service, adding that the agency was undergoing rebranding to reposition it for effective and excellent performance. He urged the public to desist from habits that might put unnecessary pressure on fire service operations in the state.All rights reserved.
