Thick smoke was seen billowing into the skies covering most of the industrial area. The civil defence team was fighting the fire until evening hours.
Traffic moved at a snail’s pace as most roads were cordoned off to allow fire fighters easy access. The blaze started at about 3pm and fire fighters from Ajman, Sharjah and Dubai were pressed into action.
A top official from the civil defence said once the fire was completely doused, cooling operations would begin and the premises will then be handed over to forensic experts for investigation.
