Okarafor 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 has been effectively put out and no damage was done to any records of the Bank.
