The Citizen reports that the City of Johannesburg Emergency Management Services (EMS) responded to the scene of a factory fire in China Mart on Renaissance Road in Crown Mines on Monday morning.
Joburg EMS spokesperson Nana Radebe said upon arrival, firefighter crews found the building engulfed in flames. Radebe reported further: “Fortunately, the occupants managed to evacuate customers. There are currently no reports of people missing, but search and rescue will be done to ensure everyone is evacuated. The crews have managed to contain the fire not to spread to other parts of the building. Fire Safety will conduct preliminary investigations to determine the cause of fire when the fire is extinguished.” Last week, a fire broke out at a retail store at Jubilee Mall in Hammanskraal. Upon arrival at the scene, firefighters found an Ackermans store on fire and immediately started with firefighting operations. They also protected a PEP store from possible fire spread. The fire was contained and subsequently extinguished. No one was injured as a result of the blaze.
