The Jamaica Fire Brigade (JFB) has said it is not yet able to determine the cause of Thursday morning's fire at Geddes Refrigeration Limited on Spanish Town Road in St. Andrew.
Kevin Haughton, Superintendent in charge of the Kingston and St. Andrew Fire Department, told RJR News that there will be an investigation.
He said the Fire Department received the call about 11:15 Thursday morning and initially responded with three units.
He said, when the teams arrived, the building was engulfed in flames and additional resources had to be called in.
"We had a total of 63 firefighters, and after three and a half hours of firefighting, we were able to bring the fire under control," he said.
Firefighters are still present at the scene conducting cooling down operations.
The Fire Brigade said the blaze was contained in the warehouse.
There were also reports of noxious fumes, however, the brigade said this was not out of the ordinary with gas cylinders stored at the facility.
