“Residents are encouraged to report fires to the Fire Brigade at the first sign of an outbreak as early reporting helps prevent fires from spreading and causing extensive damages,” the statement reads.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Magaba Home Industry is a well-known hub for metal fabrication, welding, carpentry, and furniture manufacturing, with hundreds of small businesses operating in close proximity. Fires in such environments can spread rapidly because of the presence of timber, paint, foam, gas cylinders, electrical equipment, and other flammable materials.
