The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) says it has begun an investigation into early morning which gulfed one of its offices located at No. 15 Sokode Crescent, Wuse Zone 5, Abuja on Saturday, 20th December 2025.
The fire, the agency said broke out on the fourth floor of the building, and was promptly responded to by its security personnel on duty.
“With the swift support of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Fire Service and other emergency responders, the fire was successfully contained and prevented from spreading further,” FIRS added.
It explained further that no lives were lost in the incident.
“However, a number of offices on the affected floor sustained damage.”
An investigation into the cause of the fire has commenced, with preliminary assessments pointing to a possible electrical fault.
In the meantime, “all internal safety protocols are being thoroughly reviewed and strengthened to mitigate against future occurrences.”
