The officer said the source of the fire was still unknown, adding that the service had deployed its men to contain the situation.

”The PRO and other key officers of the command are on the scene of the fire incident and can’t talk now.

”We can’t say what is the cause of the fire outbreak, but our men have been deployed to the scene to prevent further damage by the fire.
