A video has been circulating on Whatsapp showing a Mercedes motor vehicle parked at a taxi stand along North Canal Road just outside Champion City Hotel.
The Mercedes was seen to have caught fire and firefighters at the scene were seen working together pulling a fire hose from the fire truck to connect it to a fire hydrant before pulling it towards the Mercedes to put out the fire.
The vehicle, who was already covered with black smoke by the time the firefighters started putting out the fire was already in ruins.
It is unclear as to what happened or what caused the vehicle to catch fire or if there were any injuries or casualties caused by the fire.
The fire was eventually put out by the firefighters at the end of the video.
We have reached out to the authorities for clarifications on the case of the Mercedes catching fire, stay tuned as this story is still developing.
Kudos to the firefighters for responding swiftly to the emergency situation.
