In an unexpected turn of events, a rubber components production facility located within the city experienced a significant fire on Tuesday. The blaze was so intense that it produced thick smoke, making it visible from afar.

Upon arrival at the scene, two teams of first responders donned breathing apparatus to tackle the smoke and the fire itself. Thankfully, the fire department reported no danger to the local population, and no injuries were reported.

The smoke from the fire was not just a local concern, as an odor from the incident was noticeable in parts of the city center and even in the harbor. This odor, coupled with the visible smoke, served as a stark reminder of the incident.
