New fire erupts in Beirut Port

BEIRUT, (ST)_ A large fire erupted on Thursday in Beirut’s port, sending a huge plume of black smoke into the sky and unnerving residents still recovering from horrific port explosion that devastated the city last month.

The fire was burning in a warehouse that had been damaged in the previous explosion. While much of the port was leveled by the August blast, the latest fire apparently began in the teetering skeleton of one of the remaining buildings.

The extent and cause of the fire were not immediately clear, but the Lebanese Army said in a statement that the fire began at a duty free warehouse where oil and tires were stored. Helicopters were responding to the scene.
