Yeeeeeh... Fire at Christ Embassy Church in Lagos

The auditorium of the Christ Embassy Church headquarters in Oregun, Lagos, was in
flames yesterday.
It was gutted by fire which emanated from a power surge from one of the multiple
generating sets in the church's power house.
The surge led to multiple explosions before firemen from neighbouring Alausa came on
the scene to prevent the fire from spreading further. The spark occurred around 4pm
and the fire raged for at least three hours.
Gone were 14 generating sets and the auditorium which was badly affected. A fireman
was injured during the rescue mission.
Director of Lagos State Fire Service Rasaq Fadipe, said: "It was a very serious. The fire
involved the generator house and cables
"They have about 14 big generators that were affected as well as the church's stationary
diesel and petrol tanks.
"However, our officials didn't allow the tanks to burst. And we also prevented the fire
from spreading to the air conditioner House.
General Manager, Lagos State Emergency Agency Management Authority, (LASEMA), Dr.
Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, told reporters that the fire started around 4pm and raged for
about three hours.
He said "apart from the injured fireman, there was no casualty." No official of the church
was willing to speak last night.
