A fire outbreak has razed an open-space recycling site and spread to nearby structures along Pipeline Road, off Ekoro Road, Abule Egba.
The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service said it received a distress call at 1:08 p.m., prompting the immediate deployment of firefighters from the Agege and Abesan fire stations to the scene.
Preliminary reports indicated that the fire started in an open area used for local recycling activities. The blaze later extended to a nearby residential bungalow and a mini church within the vicinity.
One adult female reportedly suffered shock during the incident and was promptly attended to by emergency responders. She has since been stabilized. No fatalities were recorded.
