SHARJAH // An investigation is underway after a fire broke out in a building in Abu Shagara on Sunday afternoon.

The fire destroyed a kitchen and one other room on a floor near the top of the building.

No casualties were reported, a Civil Defence spokesman said.

Last week, also in the emirate, a fire gutted two car rental shops in Al Yarmouk.

The fire erupted in one of the rental shops on Tuesday and spread to an adjacent building, damaging two apartment blocks.
