Photos: G.U.O Transport company loses 7 luxury buses to fire in Onitsha

Seven luxury buses and 6 mini buses belonging to Onitsha-based transport company G.U.O were completely razed during an unfortunate fire incident that occurred on Monday night, January 5th at the company's headquarters at the Ogbunike axis of Onitsha-Enugu Expressway.

The company said they lost billions in the unfortunate fire. A staff of the company said the fire started around 5pm Monday evening and was caused by an explosion which occurred when a tanker was discharging diesel into a ground tank. All attempts to put the fire out proved abortive until fire fighters came many minutes later, by that time, it was too late. See another photo after the cut...

    Very very sad indeed. But I will think that a company of this magnitude will have a good comprehensive insurance in place. Also it is time to go further with precaution. A very big company of this nature should be planning to have fire fighting equipments like water hydrant which could be effective in this type of big fire apart from required fire extinguishers. The training of the staff to effectively handle the equipments with relative ease is also of paramount importance. The periodic servicing of the fire fighting equipments is very important to ensure that they do not disappoint when needed. Lastly, the staff should be motivated to stand for the company and not run away in such a situation. The company should invest in these areas so that this type of loss is reduced to the bearest minimum. This is because depending on the government fire service is like depending on nothing.
    May God replenish the loss. Toks
