A Season Of Fire Out-Breaks At Alausa..... IRS Office Gutted By Fire!

It seems to be a season of fire out-breaks at Lagos State Government office - Alausa - Ikeja. Two days after the fire out break at the Lagos state Ministry of Commerce and Industry building consuming four offices, the  third floor of Good Shepherd building, which housed the Lagos Inland Revenue Service, in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos, was on fire at about 8:45 am, Monday, September 21. 

Lagos state staff of IRS on the third floor, and those of Eko Bank located at the ground floor of the building scampered to safety when they noticed thick smoke emerging from the building.

Men of the fire service arrived the scene just in time, around 8: 48 after they were notified of the incident and were able to put out the fire. Authorities suspect a split unit air-conditioner to be the cause of the out break.
