SHARJAH // A massive blaze engulfed a factory in an industrial area on Wednesday.
Sharjah Civil Defence said the fire broke out at noon in a factory in industrial area 10. It completely destroyed the contents of the factory.
Teams from Samnan, Al Mina, Muweilh and the Civil Defence headquarters worked on containing the fire before it spread to warehouses and adjacent factories. Sharjah Police, meanwhile, cordoned off the area.
A Civil Defence spokesman said the factory was used for aluminium work and contained plastic and rubber materials.
No casualties were reported but it will be a big financial loss for the company, the spokesman added.
After the fire was put off, teams cooled off the location and handed it over to forensics teams to determine the cause.
