Major Fire Erupts Near Big Fashion Complex in Yarka, Evacuations and Road Closures
A large fire broke out in an open area near the Big Fashion shopping and entertainment complex in Yarka on Saturday, sending thick black smoke into the air. Firefighting forces battled the blaze, which involved burning tires, and managed to gain control over it. Firefighters are still working to fully extinguish the fire, using foam and heavy machinery to break apart tire piles.
The police evacuated the Big Fashion complex, which was crowded with shoppers at the time, and closed nearby roads, urging the public to avoid the area. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Due to strong winds, the fire spread towards nearby storage facilities. Fire officials clarified that the blaze did not reach the Big Fashion building itself or a nearby tire recycling plant. Firefighters worked to protect the structures until full control was achieved.
