Details: No casualties have been reported.
The media reports that arson is being considered as one of the possible explanations for the fire.
In the week leading up to the storage point fire, the fire alarm allegedly went off several times, each time being a false alarm.
Therefore, when it went off on 13 January, employees initially decided it was another false alarm.
Early reports suggest that the burning warehouse contains clothing.
