REPORT OF FIRE OUTBREAK AT THE RESIDENCE OF THE SARKIN HAUSAWA, NGURU

I hereby report a fire outbreak that occurred at the residence of the Sarkin Hausawa Palace, Nguru, on 1st November, 2026.

At approximately 14:15 hours, personnel of the Zonal Fire Service Station, Nguru, noticed an unusual situation involving thick, dark smoke billowing from the premises of the Sarkin Hausawa Palace. Upon observing the smoke, the firefighting team immediately mobilised and proceeded to the scene to assess the situation and respond to the emergency.

2. Upon arrival, the team confirmed that a fire outbreak had occurred within the premises. The fire affected approximately eight (8) residential huts. However, through the prompt response, dedication and effective firefighting techniques employed by the officers and men of the Nguru Fire Service Station, several rooms within the palace were successfully protected from being engulfed by the fire.

3. Preliminary investigations conducted by the firefighting personnel indicated that the fire was suspected to have originated from burning charcoal, which ignited nearby combustible materials and subsequently led to the outbreak.

4. The above is respectfully submitted for your information and necessary action, please.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
