The Civil Defence teams arrived at the blaze site at 4.17pm and immediately started work to put out the fire while ensuring the safety of everyone at the site. There have been no reports of casualties so far.
Over a dozen police and civil defence vehicles arrived on site to control traffic and put out the fire. A Civil Defence chopper has also been spotted flying overhead to get a bird's eye view.
