EQUATE Petrochemical Company said that it extinguished a limited fire earlier Tuesday morning.
An EQUATE official said, "The fire, which resulted from a leak in part of a manufacturing unit, was contained and it was extinguished." The official affirmed, "The incident caused no injuries as the area was isolated immediately," adding that operations of other production units were not affected.
The official expressed utmost gratitude for the cooperation of the Fire Brigade with EQUATE's team.
"As EQUATE affirms its absolute commitment to the safety and wellbeing of its employees and community members as a whole as well as its industrial operations, EQUATE would like to note that it is the only entity authorized to issue statements regarding this matter and all other issues relevant to its operations," the official cautioned.
