PRETORIA WEST [ Pretoria ] Court and Church Streets on 24 July 2009 at 20:30

A blaze at a panelbeater shop in Pretoria West kept at least 20 fire fighters busy this evening.

Shortly after 20:30 emergency services were alerted of a huge fire next to a petrol garage. Upon the arrival of emergency services, members of the public informed them that there are people living in the back of the building and no one has seen them after the fire started.



Paramedics from ER24 attended the scene to provide emergency medical care if needed.
Approximately 30 minutes later, one of the fire fighters informed paramedics that there are no one in the building.


Emergency services were concerned that the fire was right next to a filling station. Fortunately fire fighters managed to contain the fire in time.
It took fire fighters over two hours to completely extinguish the blaze. The cause for the blaze is not yet known and will be investigated.
