Two people injured in Joburg factory fire
Johannesburg emergency services say at least two people have been injured in a fire at a furniture factory in Lea Glen, near Florida.
The blaze started late on Friday morning.
Spokesperson Xolile Khumalo says the two people mangaged to escape with only minor injuries.
"Both patients were assessed by the EMS team and transported to hospital for check-up. Fire Ops and several local security companies were on scene.
"The cause of the fire incident is not yet known, investigations will be conducted by SAPS."
Khumalo has urged residents to be careful during the winter.
"There is an increasing trend of contacting media houses and creation of media content, before contacting EMS. EMS is humbly requesting the residents of Joburg to land a hand when they see a fire incident and please dial the emergency numbers."
Three people were killed in two separate fires in Johannesburg this week.
