Reports are emerging that there is a fire in northern industrial Iranian city of Qazvin.

Details as of writing are sketchy as the situation develops.

That warehouse fire is situated near an oil storage depot in the city.

Mehr News has said there are no immediate reports of any casualties. The agency reports that the blaze was dangerously close to an 18 thousand-liter oil tank.

Apparently the fire was a result of a welding accident.

Roads leading up to the source of the explosion have been closed off. Fars News Agency said earlier that the explosion had gone off in a wood and oil storage facility in the city injuring 50.
