Fire fighters tackled a food truck blaze today in Juffair.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The Civil Defence managed to extinguish the flames before the fire spread to neighbouring operators.
There have been a growing number of food truck incidents in recent months, coinciding with a proliferation of fast food businesses across the island.
The GDN has regularly reported about trucks catching alight due to gas leaks and petrol leaks, amongst other causes.
“There have been cases of fires among food trucks and portable coffee and tea shops due to either negligence or complacency,” Interior Ministry Civil Defence operations officer Captain Mohamed Jamal earlier warned, urging food truck operators to ensure all safety protocols were adhered to after a spate of blazes at locations popular with families.
