Fire fight­ers spent hours bat­tling a blaze that put to waste mil­lions of dol­lars in mer­chan­dise on Mon­day when a ware­house at En­ter­prise, Ch­agua­nas was gut­ted on Mon­day night.

The mas­sive fa­cil­i­ty stocked goods for Sumeds Lim­it­ed Poul­try Equip­ment and Sup­plies and Al­isha Mar­ket­ing at Cit­rus Dri­ve.

Fire ap­pli­ances from Ch­agua­nas, Cou­va, Savonet­ta and Tu­na­puna bat­tled the blaze.

On­look­ers said the fire ser­vices ran out of wa­ter when the blaze moved from the north­ern end of the com­plex that housed au­to­mo­tive goods for Al­isha Mar­ket­ing end of the com­plex to the Sumed’s end of the fa­cil­i­ty. Fire Ser­vice of­fi­cers said they are yet to de­ter­mine the cause of the blaze and as­sess the val­ue of the loss­es.
