Fire at Abu Dhabi warehouse in Al Dhafra contained, no injuries reported

Abu Dhabi authorities have contained a fire that broke out at a warehouse in the Al Dhafra Region on Sunday evening, according to Abu Dhabi Police. In a post on the social media platform X, the force said no injuries resulted from the blaze. Cooling operations and smoke extraction were underway at the site.

The police had earlier said that teams from Abu Dhabi Police and the Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority were responding to the fire. In that initial statement, the force advised members of the public to rely only on official sources for information about the incident.

The police post identified the date of the fire as Sunday, 11 October 2026. The cause of the blaze was not reported, and no further details on the extent of damage to the warehouse have been released.

Located in the emirate's western Al Dhafra Region, the area is a large administrative zone covering a substantial stretch of Abu Dhabi's territory. Authorities did not say whether nearby facilities or residents were affected.

Abu Dhabi Police's guidance to seek information from official channels came alongside both of its public updates on the incident, as response teams moved from active firefighting to cooling and clearing smoke from the site.
