No one was injured in a fire at a residence in Triq Agius de Soldanis, Birkirkara at 4pm.

The fire, which is believed to have been caused by an appliance, was quickly brought under control by members of the Civil Protection Department.

The CPD also brought under control a rubbish fire at the former Raffles Disco in St Andrews.

The disused disco, which closed down after the building was extensively damaged by fire in the late 1980s, is owned by the Labour Party.
