Yesterday night was suddenly abrupted by loud exposions and smell of smoke. The Civil Protection Department responded to a major fire in a private boat yard in Naxxar. 19 boats and yachts were involved in the fire, with Civil Protection personnel managing to prevent the fire from spreading further.


The operation lasted over 7 hours involving 4 officers, 14 fire fighters, and 8 fire appliances. 180,000 litres of water and 7,000 litres of foam were used to bring the incident under control.
