Abu Dhabi: Civil Defence teams doused the fire which broke out in a fiberglass factory in Ajman’s industrial area on Saturday.
The General Directorate of Ajman Civil Defence announced that no casualties were reported.
Colonel Nasser Rashid Al Ziri, director of the media and public relations department of Ajman Civil Defence, said the operation room received a report on Saturday about a fire in a fibreglass factory in Ajman’s industrial area.
Responding to the call, Civil Defence and early intervention vehicles and ambulances rushed to the site.
Al Ziri added that fire fighters managed to control the fire and prevented it from spreading to other areas in the factory.
A rescue team evacuated people from nearby buildings to ensure workers’ safety.
“Police blocked all roads leading to the factory, allowing fire fighters and ambulance personnel to execute their work freely and thus helping in bringing the fire under control,” Al Ziri said.
