IT was a bad spectacle for some residents of Pipeline, Kubwa, Abuja when fire destroyed all the properties of the occupants of a five- room, L-shaped boys quarters in the area.

The inferno, which started around 8:00pm on the fateful day, according to an eye witness, was very massive and uncontrollable.

Also, according to one of the occupants of the razed building, Mr.AmaechiUgwuanyi, the fire was caused by his power generating set.

He said that he started the generator so that he could shave not knowing that the generator was leaking.

The 30-year old occupant who spoke in pidgin English further said that he locked the door to where the generator was after starting it and was already adjusting the clipper which he wanted to shave with when he heard a very loud sound from where the generator was which was followed by massive fire outbreak.

Mr.Ugwuanyi disclosed that due to the intensity of the fire, he had no option but to raise the alarm which attracted more residents to the scene.

However, all their efforts to retrieve some properties was abortive as the fire burnt everything in the five-room boys quarter.

He confirmed that the fire started from a generator and spread to the gas cylinder in his house which escalated the fire.

He stated that officers from the fire service rushed to save the situation but could do little as they could not gain prompt access to the building.
