This was disclosed by the director, State Fire Service, Sagir Madaki, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kano.
He said that the estimated property destroyed by fire during the period was N22million.
“We received 100 rescue calls and 15 false alarms from members of the public during the period under review,” he said.
