A fire broke out in a warehouse on the south western side of Wukair, near Wakrah, around noon on Tuesday. However, no one was hurt, inquiries found.
The warehouse was apparently not in use. A number of fire engines and water tankers were rushed to the spot after the Civil Defence was alerted. It was reported that a few portacabins were destroyed in the fire.
Though the extent of damage was not known it was reported that the swift intervention by the Civil Defence helped to put out the fire in less than an hour after it erupted.
