The PPRO said that the prompt arrival of the fire service and police prevented the fire from escalating and causing further damage as it was put off.

“The command is advising members of the public to be fire safety conscious at home, offices and shops.

“They should regularly call the police control room number on 08032003702 as well as fire service office on 08036704815 in event of any fire outbreak for prompt action,” he said.

An eyewitness who preferred anonymity said that the vehicles were still at an artist’s workshop where they were still being branded when the incident happened.

“The resultant explosion reportedly attracted residents who called in men of the fire service and the police,’’ he said.
