Fire­fight­ers man­aged to con­tain a fire that spread from a near­by bush­fire to the Trinidad Ce­ment Lim­it­ed (TCL) com­pound in Clax­ton Bay yes­ter­day, pre­vent­ing any sig­nif­i­cant dam­age.

Sev­er­al peo­ple told Guardian Me­dia they heard an ex­plo­sion and saw thick smoke bil­low­ing from the scene af­ter 11 am.

Eye­wit­ness­es stat­ed that the bush fire spread to four bi­tu­men tanks on the com­pound, dam­ag­ing the tanks and a con­vey­or belt. How­ev­er, there were no re­ports of any in­juries.
