The spokesman of the State Fire Service, Alhaji Saidu Mohammed, said in Kano on Sunday that the fire also razed 30 containers of fish.
He said: “We received a distress call yesterday at about 8:02 pm from a good Samaritan that there is fire outbreak at the market.”
”On receiving the information, we quickly sent our firefighting vehicle to the scene at about 8:06 pm.’’
Mohammed hinged the incident on an electric spark from a power change-over device.
He advised residents to be more careful in the way they use electrical appliances so as to forestall future fire accidents.
