Residents of the state were forewarned by the Federal Fire Service’s Kaduna State Command on Wednesday of potential fire occurrences during the harmattan season.
In a statement, the state’s fire commander, Sadiq Usman, stated that the goal was to protect lives and property as climate-related disasters in Nigeria continued to escalate.
He said that the call was essential since the likelihood of fires and other related situations had greatly increased due to a combination of falling temperatures, strong winds, and greater usage of heating sources during the season.
