Marine Base Timber Market traders lamented that they had suffered several fire disaster, estimating the latest loss to over N300 million.

Some of the affected timber traders regretted that anytime fire outbreaks occur they lose virtually all their property as rescue operations have always been difficult.

They appealed to the Rivers State Government to come to their aid in terms of financial assistance and construct a befitting market for them to forestall future recurrence.

One of the victims, who simply gave his name as Onyema, told Daily Sun that he became a hypertensive patient as a result of incessant fire outbreaks at the timber market.

Onyema told the reporter on phone that when he got calls from some of his colleagues about the fire he refused to rush down due to his health condition..
