A fire in a warehouse was burning out of control in the Yangpu District of Shanghai on Wednesday night, local authorities said. The fire broke out in a grain and oil wholesale market, mainland media reported, with pictures showing large flames sending up choking plumes of smoke. State-run CCTV reported that the fire broke out in the market at Yangpu district at about 9:15pm, and there were no reports of casualties. More than 30 fire engines were deployed to the scene, Shanghai-based news portal xinmin. Mainland online users posted pictures and videos of the fire on social media. Pictures of the blaze on social media showed a raging blaze engulfed a city block near apartment towers. “I suddenly heard people screaming, and I looked out of the window to see that there is fire outside the market,” he said.
