Fire Scare At MMIA: Setting The Record Straight

There has been a Fire Scare involving an Inverter Battery at the basement of the Arrival Pick-up section of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) which has since been doused.

The scare which happened at about 08:00hours Wednesday has the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service joining the Aerodrome Rescue and Firefighting Service at the Echo Wing of the Airport.

The thick black smoke emanated from the Battery House as a result of the components of the Batter which was vented to bring the situation under control as the already activated Airport emergency response plan took strategic charge to bring the situation under control.

There is no record of casualty as normalcy has been restored.
