SHARJAH // A big fire gutted four warehouses in Industrial Area 13 on Tuesday.
The blaze started at around 3pm and took firefighters from Sharjah, Ajman and Dubai about two hours to control the blaze, said Brig Abdullah Al Suwaidi, the director general of Sharjah Civil Defence.
No injuries or fatalities were reported.
“The blaze is currently completely controlled and firefighters are still cordoning off the area as the cooling process starts,” he said.
The fire is thought to have started in a furniture warehouse and spread to other warehouses of scrap and garments.
Billowed smoke covered the skies of most of the emirate’s roads and traffic slowed as most roads were being cordoned off to allow firefighters easy access to the blaze.

Muslim Council of Elders condemns terrorism on religious sites
The Muslim Council of Elders has strongly condemned the criminal attacks on religious sites in Britain.
It firmly rejected “acts of terrorism, which constitute a flagrant violation of the sanctity of houses of worship”.
“Attacking places of worship is a form of terrorism and extremism that threatens peace and stability within societies,” it said.
The council also warned against the rise of hate speech, racism, extremism and Islamophobia. It urged the international community to join efforts to promote tolerance and peaceful coexistence.
