Earlier this morning, five containers in the factory containing materials used in foam mattress manufacturing were still blazing when Loop PNG arrived.
A witness who was the first on the scene, Markham Culverts gate keeper Henry Hayago, told Loop PNG the fire started at the back of the factory and spread throughout the building before the fire fighters arrived to stop it from reaching the head office.
Firefighters, with only one fire truck on the scene, ran out of water but managed to contain the blaze.
