Members of the media and emergency services units flocked to the scene as the news quickly trended on social media and traffic news about the fires which started at 5:15 and affected traffic.
EMS Spokesperson, Robert Mulaudzi said: “At this state we can say that the fire has been contained but we have not determined the cause of the fire as we are still waiting for everything to settle so we could investigate the cause. Fortunately there were no people injured as the warehouse was empty at the time the fire started,”
