Muscat: Authorities in Abu Dhabi have controlled a fire that broke out on Friday afternoon at a construction site on Yas Island.
Teams from Abu Dhabi Police and Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority have controlled the fire that broke out at a construction site adjacent to Yas Waterworld on Yas Island earlier on Friday.
The fire did not result in any injuries and has been successfully extinguished, the authorities further added.
Around 3pm Abu Dhabi Police and Abu Dhabi Civil Defence stated that had teams on the scene and were battling the blaze.
The cause of the fire is unclear at this time.
Yas Island is home to several theme parks in the UAE such as Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, and which are popular attractions over the Eid break, which is expected to start early next week. It remains unclear whether access to any of these sites will be affected over the coming days following the incident.
