Blaze in Malaga port forces city centre road closure

The fire originated in an area where items seized by the Guardia Civil were stored including fishing boats, inflatable and rigid inflatable boats used by illegal immigrants, according to sources at the port authority.

What sparked the fire, which has been brought under control by firefighters, is not yet known. The blaze was visible from many areas of the city due to the black smoke caused by the burning rubber and plastic.
