A fire that erupted in one of the tyre warehouses in Sharjah Industrial area on Sunday night continues to emit dark smoke on Monday morning even as the blaze has been brought under control.

Thick dark smoke is seen clouding the skies as the tyres are gutted filling the air with acrid smell, say motorists and eye-witnesses.



“The fire started at about 10pm and civil defence personnel have been at the site controlling the situation,” said an eye witness.

A businessman in the area said, ‘We are relieved that the fire is under control now.”

Cause of the blaze will be investigated.


Sharjah industrial area houses numerous warehouses that stores automobile spare parts. The gutted warehouse is located opposite an Enoc workshop.
