A large grass fire close to the Easygas LPG cylinders storage facility in Luqa this afternoon led the company to take safety precautions, including driving out all its trucks.

The Civil Protection Department deployed fire engines inside and outside the facility in an effort to stop the flames from spreading. Additional water bowsers were called up.

The operation is still in progress.
