Mattress Linings Go Up In Flames.

Emergency personnel rushed to a report of a factory on fire in Burnside road in Mount Edgecombe this morning. It was unclear what was burning but the smoke could be seen as far as Umgeni road.

Once emergency personnel arrived on the scene, they found that the fire was on the outside of the factory and that the content that was fully in gulfed was inners for mattress. Fire Department was quick on the scene to help extinguish the blaze.

Two workers from the factory were treated for minor burns to their faces as they tried to help extinguish the fire before the Fire Department had arrived. Both patients said they would go to their doctors later for further medical treatment if required.

The cause of how the fire started is unknown but the necessary authorities were on the scene and would investigate the incident further.
