According to sources, firefighters from Dubai and Sharjah were able to extinguish the flames. Authorities are trying to determine the cause of the blaze

There are currently no reports whether someone was injured as a result of the Ajman market fire and firefighters are still on the scene trying to tackle the blaze that sent plumes of thick black smoke billowing into the sky.

A hospital in the near locality of the fire was evacuated as a safety measure due to the proximity. Many shopkeepers reported that they tried to put out the fire with extinguishers from their shops when it first started but it spread very quickly to no result.

The souq, which is home to many traders, is a popular attraction in Ajman, drawing visitors from across the country.
