This marks the second such incident in the Musaffah Industrial Area in recent weeks. Last month, emergency teams from the same authorities responded swiftly to a warehouse fire in the district, bringing it under control without any casualties. After that incident, officials also carried out cooling and smoke extraction procedures to ensure the site’s safety.

Through these prompt responses, Abu Dhabi’s emergency services have underscored their readiness to manage such incidents efficiently while maintaining public safety and transparency in communication.
