Durban’s public order police were deployed to Market Road, in Warwick, KZN, to contain a fire that engulfed the English Market, on Sunday.
What caused the English Market fire?
Video footage of the inferno was caught on camera by eyewitnesses. At this time, not much information is available on the extent of the damage, or if there were any casualties reported.
At this time, much of the focus has been on rescue efforts and containing the blaze before it spreads to other parts of the busy business district.
The cause of the fire is still subject to investigation and, at the time this article was published, Durban authorities had not responded to our queries.
