In cases of building collapses, 105 people were rescued, with four fatalities reported in Guzape District, Kubwa, and Sabon Lugbe.<\/p>\n

For fire incidents, the department successfully saved 1,230 lives without any fatalities, including major incidents at Old Karu Market and a fitness center in Gwarinpa.<\/p>\n
