The Kano State Fire Service said fire has razed 80 shops at the Kasuwar Kurmi Market in Kano Municipal.
A statement by the service spokesman, Alhaji Saminu Abdullahi, yesterday, noted that the fire started about 5.23am.
Abdullahi said the service received a distress call from one Aliyu Alkasim that there was an outbreak of fire at the market. The spokesman said six permanent and 74 open shops were completely razed by the fire.
Abdullahi, however, confirmed that no life was lost and no one was injured. He said the cause of the fire was being investigated.
He advised consumers to switch off and disconnect all electrical appliances and avoid careless use of naked fire, especially within the market premises.
