There was a fire outbreak in room S47,Saadu Zungur hostel block A. At
about 11:30AM the serene atmosphere in the hostel was interrupted by
sudden shouts of "fire! fire!!". Pandemonium broke out as the boys in the
hostel rushed to the room with buckets of water to put out the fire.It
took about twenty minutes and buckets of water to extinguish the fire.
The central circuit board in the block was switched off to
reduce the risk of electrocution.After the room had cooled down,the boys
trooped into the room to salvage belongings from the accident.Few
minutes later,the hostel administrator and some security officers came
around to inspect the room.They couldn't figure out what caused the fire
outbreak but they suspected that an electronic gadget might have been
left unplugged.
The room mates,who returned shortly after the arrival of the hall
administrator, were questioned about the electrical appliances they
possessed.None of them claimed to have any appliances prohibited by the
school authority.
According to one of the room mates, "The only thing we plug
here is an extension board and nothing else". After several minutes of
futile attempts to sort out the cause of the accident,the hall
administrator urged students to be careful with electrical appliances.He
also warned that any student found with prohibited electrical
appliances will be severely punished
