According to the source, the fire outbreak was controlled by the city’s civil defence team. It further informed that the fire was controllable and was erupted in the industrial area because of the electric cables in Jebel Ali.

Reportedly, the residents around the area were informed that the explosion was so loud that the buildings were shaken and their windows were about to fall. The rattle was felt nearly for two-three seconds.

The residents took social media and shared their concerns about the explosion and sudden shake. While expressing the same, one of the users wrote, “Shock was felt, and we thought that windows of our house at the Jebel Ali port area were around to fell off.”
