LNFS Director of Public Affairs Jassah Garyah told the Liberia News Agency Thursday that the number dropped by 99 in 2014, compared to 2013 when 288 fire incidents were reported.
Most of the fire outbreaks were the result of illegal electric wire connection, negligence and arson, she noted.
Garyah said while there were 15 fire-related deaths recorded in 2013, only eight occurred in 2014, adding, “this shows a significant improvement in how careful people have become.”
