BALMORAL UP IN FLAMES.

Wow, this is just so sad,The city people awards was going on in the Balmoral hall in Oregun in Ikeja and i hear from reliable sources that it was just a little fire that could have been controlled but everyone stood looking,am guessing its shock.

According to NET ng, the fire started at about 4:05pm shortly after the event kicked off, a caterer who was trying to light the liquid-spirit used to heat the food that was to be served at the event mistakenly lit her dress on fire.She hurriedly removed the skirt throwing it into the air, but it got in contact with the canopy, which served as an overhead covering at the premises. Efforts to quench the fire with an extinguisher proved abortive as the extinguisher’s gas only made matters worse as it accelerated the fire outbreak.
