A fire broke out at a perfume factory in Umm Al Quwain on Saturday.
Thick black smoke can be seen billowing into the sky in a video released by the emirate’s media office.
“Civil Defence teams in Umm Al Quwain are dealing with a fire incident in a perfume factory in the Umm Al Thuoob industrial area,” said a caption accompanying the footage on the office's Instagram post.
In September, fire fighters from Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman and Sharjah worked for more than six hours to bring a blaze under control at a tyre factory in the same district.
A perfume factory in the Umm Al Thuoob industrial area was destroyed in 2016.

Zakat definitions
Zakat: an Arabic word meaning ‘to cleanse’ or ‘purification’.
Nisab: the minimum amount that a Muslim must have before being obliged to pay zakat. Traditionally, the nisab threshold was 87.48 grams of gold, or 612.36 grams of silver. The monetary value of the nisab therefore varies by current prices and currencies.
Zakat Al Mal: the ‘cleansing’ of wealth, as one of the five pillars of Islam; a spiritual duty for all Muslims meeting the ‘nisab’ wealth criteria in a lunar year, to pay 2.5 per cent of their wealth in alms to the deserving and needy.
Zakat Al Fitr: a donation to charity given during Ramadan, before Eid Al Fitr, in the form of food. Every adult Muslim who possesses food in excess of the needs of themselves and their family must pay two qadahs (an old measure just over 2 kilograms) of flour, wheat, barley or rice from each person in a household, as a minimum.
