Firefighters continue to put out the fire but authorities have yet to reveal its cause. No injuries were immediately reported.

The blaze broke out at around 10am on Wednesday and was immediately contained by firefighters who were deployed to the area. Authorities cordoned off the streets and rerouted motorists.

“Smoke has been coming out of the compound since yesterday (Wednesday),” a worker told Khaleej Times, adding:“I'm wearing a face mask because I don't want to inhale the smoke which is similar when you're cooking using wood.”

The fire occurred in the inner streets of Al Quoz Industrial Area 1 and did not cause any traffic delays on First Al Khail Street.
