A big fire hit the Latrikunda Sabiji Market yesterday night around twelve. It started in someone's home next to the market and quickly jumped to nearby food stands. Nobody died or got hurt, but many sellers lost their stuff. The market burned down in 2007 and 2016, hurting local businesses badly each time.
KMC Mayor Talib Bensouda said the fire began at a house by the back door of the main market. The people living there ran a small market stand inside their place. Local kids started fighting the flames before help came. The fire department sent two trucks, but nine food stands burned up anyway.
Bensouda explained what caused the trouble—bad wiring sparked near a beauty shop full of flammable makeup oils. This shop shared electric lines with two grinding machines next door. Everything caught fire fast from there. The mayor told all the shop owners he felt sorry about their losses.
He asked everyone selling stuff to make sure their electric wires stayed safe. Market bosses plan to check all power hookups around the area soon. Bensouda thanked both firefighters and regular people who helped stop things from getting worse. The community really came together when trouble struck.
