The Animal Health School in Kabo Local Government Area (LGA) of Kano State was gutted by fire, thereby razing 34 classrooms.
The Public Relations Officer of the Kano State Fire Service, ACFO Saminu Yusif Abdullahi, disclosed this in a statement, saying the incident occurred on Monday at about 2:53 pm.
The statement added that 16 classrooms were severely affected, while 18 others were partially damaged by the fire.
The statement reads in part: “The fire service control room received a distress call from one Jamilu Abubakar, reporting the outbreak at the school premises.
“One firefighting truck from Rijiyar Zaki Fire Station was immediately mobilised to the scene to contain the incident.
“On arrival, our men discovered a ground-floor building measuring about 500 by 500 feet, used as an Animal Health School, engulfed in flames”.
The statement said fire was, however, successfully brought under control, preventing it from spreading to other classrooms and offices within the facility, attributing the successful operation to prompt response by firefighters.
As of the time of filing this report, no casualties were reported, while the cause of the fire is yet to be made public.
