Quick Update: Four Children lost their lives in Fire accident...
A tragic house fire in the New Matadi community of Monrovia claimed the lives of four children early Thursday morning. The Liberia National Fire Service (LNFS) has attributed the incident to limited road access, which delayed firefighters from reaching the scene in time.
At a Ministry of Information press briefing, LNFS Director Col. G. Warsuwah Barvoul explained that although fire crews responded within eleven minutes of receiving the emergency call, their efforts were severely hindered by blocked alleyways that obstructed access to the burning structure.
“The fire team arrived promptly but could not reach the house due to structures obstructing the pathway. This delay unfortunately contributed to the loss of young lives,” Col. Barvoul stated.
He urged residents to refrain from building in alleyways, emphasizing that such obstructions hinder emergency response and can lead to preventable tragedies.
According to a preliminary report, the fire is believed to have been caused by an unattended mosquito coil.
The LNFS identified the victims as Emmanuel Flomo (8), Marcus Momolu (12), Elizabeth Momolu (6), and Lusu Kamara (2). One of the children was reportedly the child of an LNFS staff member.
The incident has reignited calls for stricter enforcement of urban planning laws and heightened public awareness about fire safety and the importance of maintaining accessible emergency routes.
