Residents and workers evacuated, Caroline Street cordoned off in major operation <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A MAJOR fire broke out this afternoon (March 25) in the Brewery Quarter of Cardiff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one was hurt in the blaze, which saw seven fire engines and a cherry picker deployed to the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brewery Quarter was closed to pedestrians and Caroline Street was cordoned off with fire hoses running down the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several witnesses told The Cardiffian<\/em> the fire started on Caroline Street. Workers at a nearby Nando’s said they had evacuated after seeing smoke billow from the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I just started smelling smoke,” said Sebastian Samuel, 27, who lives in the Brewery Quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I thought my next-door neighbour’s flat was on fire. I was knocking on their door frantically. I was thinking ‘when should I call 999’ when I came out the front door and there was a massive fire engine there already.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
