The raging fire at Balogun Market has claimed the third building.
This is as indications emerged that more may go down.
The third building came down shortly after the second one at about 4.30 p.m.
According to the spokesman of the Lagos State Fire Service, Mr. Jamiu Dosunnmu, who spoke with FrontPage, no fewer than six people, including three fire fighters were injured in the exercise.
He said although the fire was still raging, there was hope that it would be put out following the spirited efforts of the fire fighters.
Dosunmu was at the scene, stressed that the inability to easily access the source of the fire was one of the factors causing delay in the bid to put out the fire.
The buildings, he said, were clustered, thus not giving room for access.
He said no life had been lost.
The fire which started Wednesday morning was said to have been caused by fuel stored inappropriately in one of the buildings.
No fewer than seven buildings have been affected.
