Cardboard factory set alight due to an electrical short circuit

A fire which broke out in a cardboard factory in Shujabad raged for one and a half hours.

According to the emergency services, firefighters were able to control the blaze, however the fire had spread rapidly.

Using six fire trucks and more than 20 personnel to conduct the cooling process, local police were also on hand to investigate casualties.

As no casualties or injuries were reported due to a successful evacuation process during the initial ignition, no medical treatment was needed.

The fire is since believed to have been caused by a short circuit.
