Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Mr. Rasak Fadipe confirmed the two incidents, describing them as tragic.

He said the fire outbreak in Somolu which claimed the lives of father and two children was caused by PMS storage.

The fire service boss explained that the family was cooking close to where a keg of fuel was kept when an explosion occurred, igniting the fire.

He said the fire station from Somolu responded to the tragedy, but lamented that three dead bodies were recovered.

Fadipe added that the fire outbreak at Isolo was caused by a candle stick which was lit by a grandchild to the grandfather consumed in the fire. He said the Child lit the candle and went out to play, while it fell and started the fire which killed the grandfather.

He appealed to Lagosians to stop storing fuel in their houses and also stopped using candle sticks as these could lead to fire outbreak.
