A fire that erupted at a petroleum storage facility in the emirate of Sharjah has been brought under control after emergency services rushed to contain the blaze late Saturday night. The incident occurred in the Sajaa Industrial Area, a major industrial zone known for housing energy storage facilities, warehouses and logistics operations.
According to local authorities, firefighters from Sharjah Civil Defence responded immediately after receiving reports of the fire at around 9:02pm, launching rapid containment and cooling operations to prevent the flames from spreading to nearby fuel tanks. Investigators believe the blaze was triggered by a leak in one of the petroleum storage tanks, though a full investigation into the cause has been launched.
