Dekro Paint in Kuils River went up in smoke on Thursday (31 August) after residents heard three explosions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents told a TygerBurger <\/em>reporter who was on the scene by noon that they heard two explosions before the fire, and another explosion while the factory was burning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

City of Cape Town\u2019s Fire and Rescue Services spokesperson, Theo Layne, says the fire was in the storage area of the factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo injuries have been reported. The cause of the fire is static electricity in the store area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabriek Street was closed off while the Fire and Rescue Services were working to extinguish the blaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
