Breaking: Fire Outbreak In Mushin Market
The Chairman of Warri South Local Government, Dr. Michael Tidi, was disturbed by the attitude of some youths from the Igbudu community, who threw pebbles at the truck of the Warri Fire Service, for allegedly not responding to the distress calls immediately.
The Council boss said, “This is not the first time we are hearing of this kind of attack from the community people. It is not right and it is something that is condemnable.
“I have told them that we are going to get the leaders of the community to replace the windscreen as well as the side mirror.
“The fire service is not the cause of the fire outbreak and any time they are called upon, they are available to respond.”
