The City of Cape Town\u2019s Fire and Rescue Services responded to a fire on the morning of Friday 12 January at the Blue Flame gas shop in Voortrekker Road, Parow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fire and Rescue Services spokesperson, Theo Layne, says they responded to the fire just after 07:20. Voortrekker Road near the shop was closed to the public while the fire department was busy containing the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe had a fire at the office area, at the rear of the building. Fortunately, we managed to contain the fire within that area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Layne says the front of the shop sustained some smoke and water damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTwo fire engines and a rescue vehicle responded with 14 firefighters. No injuries were reported.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cause of the fire is still being investigated by the City\u2019s fire investigation safety officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
