A massive fire erupted late Tuesday night at a textile factory in the Al-Majd industrial area of Tangier’s in the Al-Aouama neighborhood, located in the Beni Makada district in Tangier, local media reported.
Preliminary data suggests that heavy rains earlier in the evening had caused an electrical short circuit, which may have triggered the fire.
The fire caused significant material losses but left no reported injuries. Civil protection teams, local authorities, and national security services responded quickly to contain the blaze, working to prevent it from spreading to neighboring factories in the industrial zone.
Firefighters, using water tankers, continued their efforts to extinguish the flames as of 1 a.m. Wednesday.
