Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>A devastating fire of great proportions is currently hitting the Central Market of Quelimane, causing significant damage and leading to the displacement of several local traders.<\/p>\n

The fire broke out in the early hours of this Tuesday morning, quickly consuming the iconic trade hub, considered the main economic center of the city.<\/p>\n

So far, no fatalities have been reported due to the fire, but some people suffered minor injuries during the evacuation of the site.<\/p>\n

An investigation to determine the causes of the fire has already begun, and the authorities promise to investigate all the details to clarify what happened.<\/p>\n

Quelimane\u2019s Central Market is a symbol of the city\u2019s economic identity and a meeting point for residents and visitors in search of a variety of products. With its partial destruction, a concerted effort will be needed to recover and revitalize this important infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The fire generated a dense cloud of dark smoke that hangs over the city, which raises the concern of the authorities about possible risks to the health of the population.<\/p>\n

One of the most alarming concerns is the proximity of the fire to the Quelimane Fire Fighters, the Public Salvation Corps [SENSAP], located just 150 metres from the Central Market.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing the fire brigade has not yet managed to quell the fire.<\/p>\n
