Johannesburg emergency services have spent the night extinguishing a massive underground tunnel fire in the city centre.
Electricity cables planted inside the tunnel caught fire on Monday, cutting off power to residents and businesses around Fordsburg.
Smoke is still billowing from the manholes leading to the underground tunnels where fire started.
All the teams are onsite currently assessing the impact, even though, for safety reasons, we are not yet able to reach some parts of the underground tunnels. @CityofJoburgZA pic.twitter.com/opDZ3rx00s— @CityPowerJhb (@CityPowerJhb) March 28, 2022
City Power technicians had to halt their efforts to restore electricity to allow firefighters to battle the blaze first.
EMS spokesperson Robert Mulaudzi said, “As soon as we have extinguished the fire, which we hope for by this afternoon, we will make sure the air quality is OK and the structural integrity of the tunnel is OK, then we will allow technicians to do their work.”
