A fire has broken out at a scrapyard and waste treatment facility in Marsa. 

The fire started at 11.30pm along Triq Giuseppe Garibaldi. It’s believed to be coming from a scrapyard in the area. However, ERA said the fire started from a privately-run facility.

The fire is still ongoing and fire engines are still on site. Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri said that the blaze is currently under control.

ERA has opened up an investigation and has offered up all assistance to the police.
