Dubai: A fire in a dump of oil waste in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Industrial Area has been brought under control.

No injuries were reported in the blaze, which had erupted shortly before noon on Monday.

The location of the fire was far from factories in the area. The thick black smoke seen in the area was caused by the burning of oily substances, it added.
