A number of fire engines were deployed to Qormi this morning after a building adjacent to the Nylon Knitting factory caught fire.

The blaze produced a thick column of smoke which, however, quickly dispersed as the fire was put out.

Informed sources said the section houses batteries and other equipment.

No one was injured.
