Firefighter Zubariu Sada of the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport Fire Department, Nigeria has died in the Line of Duty. The fire that started at the airport killed, Zubairu FF Sada and injured 4 other firefighters. They were part of an airport firefighter crew who were entrapped as the fire spread toward the airport’s two runways. Firefighter Sada and the other Firefighters were admitted to the Gamji Military Hospital. The fire, which was said to have started around 12PM yesterday lasted for two hours before it was brought under control by airport and Kano State firefighters, consumed a large part of the brush near the tarmac. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined, but witnesses said it started from brush burning activities near the eastern section of the airport. Strong winds reportedly pushed the fire.
As always, our sincere condolences.
