Firefighters are trying to extinguish a factory fire in Durban in which four people have suffered smoke inhalation.
A month ago residents in Clairwood had to be evacuated after three diesel tankers at a local truck yard went up in flames.

We’ve seen
a resins company catch alight and the fire at UPL that happened during the looting last year,” he said.D’Sa said poor communities were mostly affected by the lack of proper emergency plans.
