A massive fire is tearing through a slum in Nigeria's megacity of Lagos.
The fire started Tuesday afternoon in the Ebute Metta neighborhood of
Lagos. The blaze's massive flames could be seen from the city's long
Third Mainland Bridge.
Many people stopped their cars on the bridge to take mobile phone
images of the fire.
Emergency officials in Lagos could not be immediately reached for
comment. Fire remains a major danger in Nigeria, where many people
store gasoline and diesel in their homes to run generators for
electricity.
