Nigerian Navy firemen help fight inferno in Abuja shopping plaza

The Nigerian Navy (NN) Firemen, a sub-unit of Naval Headquarters Garki Abuja, on Monday helped avert what would have been a massive inferno at the popular UTC Shopping Plaza in Garki.

According to eyewitness reports, an electric spark in one of the plaza shops ignited the fire outbreak with the potential to consume many other shops & properties.

However, as the fire surged, the NN Firemen were called in to assist the Federal Fire Service (FFS) and the National Defence College (NDC) Fire Service in fighting the flames.

On arrival, the NN FireMen swung into action and the situation was brought under control. Thankfully no lives were lost and damage to property was limited.
