A fire broke out in a warehouse in Malé last night in the second fire incident in the capital in less than a week.
The fire at the United Food Supplies warehouse in the Maafanu ward was reported to the Maldives National Defence Force’s (MDNF) fire and rescue services around 8:20pm and was swiftly contained around 8:40pm.
MDNF spokesperson Major Adnan Ahmed told Minivan News that the fire was caused by an ignition in the panel board of a storage container.
The warehouse on Hadhuvaree Hingun mainly stores vegetables, frozen goods and other food items, he said.
