The Osun Fire Service on Tuesday said it recorded 121 fire outbreaks in the state between January and November. Ibrahim said the figure was, however, lower than the figure recorded in the same period in 2016 involving 152 cases. He attributed the fires recorded to human errors, carelessness and flammable objects (most especially electrical equipment). He advised people to be very careful with electrical appliances and always disconnect them from power source when they were not in use. He warned motorists too, to be careful and avoid putting petrol in their vehicles because of the hot weather.
