Gerehu fire station commander, superintendent John Gareresi, said fire is dangerous and can cause loss of lives and damages to properties, thus, people should take precaution when using electric stoves, gas, candles or open fires.
He issued this advice after a section of the Laloki psychiatric hospital, a real estate building and UPNG’s first year’s hall of residence recently went up in flames.
According to their statistics, either electrical faults or candle lights cause fire.
