Watch: Major warehouse fire under control after 3-hour battle in Oman's Barka Industrial Area
A massive fire broke out early this morning at a warehouse located in the industrial area of the Wilayat of Barka in the Governorate of South Al Batinah, Oman.
The Civil Defence and Ambulance Department teams promptly responded to the incident and immediately moved in to douse the fire. According to official sources, emergency responders from South Al Batinah were joined by firefighting teams from the neighbouring governorates of Muscat and North Al Batinah.
After nearly three hours, the blaze was brought under control before it could spread to adjacent facilities. The prompt action by the Civil Defence teams significantly minimised the potential damage that could have occurred had the fire reached nearby units.
The firefighting team have started the cooling operations to ensure the area was completely safe and to prevent any chance of the blaze reigniting. No injuries or casualties have been reported so far.
