What would have been another major fire
disaster in the country was on Tuesday averted by the staff of the
Central Bank of Nigeria Jos Branch.
A statement signed by the Bank’s
Director of Corporate Communications, Isaac Okorafor, indicated that,
“about 9.15 a.m., today, Tuesday, April 21, 2020, the fire alarm in our
Jos Branch was triggered and in line with the Bank’s fire drill and
protocol, the skeletal staff on essential duty were promptly evacuated
from the building to the muster point.”
Okorafor further stated that the Branch
Controller quickly called the Fire Service at about 9.19 a.m and noted
that before their arrival, the bank’s security staff, relying on
information from the Fire Alarm Dashboard, traced the fire to an air
conditioner installed in the inverter room on the second floor of the
building.
“The staff swiftly put out the fire with
extinguishers and hydrants installed in the building. The affected room
has since been cordoned off for further investigation, while normal
work has resumed at the branch,” Okorafor stated.
He assured the general public that the
minor fire had been effectively put out and no damage was done to any
records of the bank.
