A fire brigade spokesperson said that two fire tenders were immediately rushed to the site and eight more reached it later to help extinguish the conflagration. He added that the firefighters were able to cool the blaze after an effort of two hours. No one was hurt. The cause of the fire has yet to be ascertained.
