Investigations into the cause of the fire that broke out on Sunday at the Bulk Fuel Depot at Air Force Base Waterkloof at about 19:00 are underway, the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) said.
In a statement, the SANDF said the fire was contained within the hour after it broke out by the South African Air Force fire fighting teams from both Air Force Base Waterkloof and Air Force Base Swartkops in Valhalla, Pretoria.
“The cause of the fire, the magnitude of the damage, and the cost of the damage to the Bulk Fuel Depot will form part of an investigation that will interrogate all events and or incidents that might have led to the fire breakout at the base,” said Brigadier General Andries Mahapa.
“No structural damage was reported.”
