Baku: A fire that erupted at a warehouse on Nizami Street in Baku’s Nasimi district has been brought under control by the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, 360 square meters of the 2,400-square-meter facility, which stores electronics and other goods, sustained damage in the blaze.

Most of the warehouse was safeguarded from the flames, preventing the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs’ Intelligent Traffic Management Center verified these traffic control measures. The MES deployed forces from the State Fire Protection and Special Risk Rescue Services to manage the incident effectively.

APA’s correspondent on-site confirmed that 14 fire trucks and numerous personnel have been engaged in the firefighting operations. Active interventions are ongoing around the entire perimeter of the warehouse, with the fire now under control. Further updates are expected as efforts to fully extinguish the fire continue.
