A worker has been treated for heat exhaustion after a fire blazed through a warehouse at a popular party retail outlet in Springfield, Durban.

At the scene behind the main shop they found a building alight.

“The Durban fire department is winning at fighting the fire. One patient, one of the workers, has been treated for heat exhaustion by paramedics. No further injuries have been reported. However, due to the heat and severity [of the blaze], paramedics are on standby,” he said.
