Suspected arson at scrapyard

Suspected arson at scrapyard

A fire broke out at a scrapyard opposite Flower City Garden in Taipa at about 6am yesterday, and the Judiciary Police (PJ), who suspect foul play, are now investigating the incident.

The fire spread through the scrapyard, which has been described as “big as a basketball court” and the fire department deployed nine fire trucks and spent about half an hour putting out the blaze.

No one was injured in the incident.

A resident nearby in Avenida Olympica said he and his neighbours were awakened by the the sound of explosions, thick black smoke and the sound of fire engines early yesterday' morning.

Fire fighters had to keep dousing the large number of rubber tires stored at the scrapyard for a long period of time to prevent the blaze from resurgent.
