A fire destroys an eight-room bungalow on Onitire Road in Itire, Lagos State. Reports say one person is injured while trying to save an elderly resident, a 75-year-old man who is rescued from the burning building. The incident occurs at an address on Onitire Road near the Smith Bus Stop.
Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service statements cited by outlets say the fire is brought under control by responders, and rescue operations include pulling people out of the structure. While one outlet describes the injured rescuer as a single person, another adds that two men are rescued as the fire spreads and consumes parts of the bungalow. Both accounts agree the property is extensively damaged.
The outlets differ slightly on the number of people rescued and the phrasing of who is injured, but they align on the location, the extensive damage to the bungalow, and that an elderly man is rescued during the incident.
