According to the Service, two fire engines from the Ministries Fire Station and the National Headquarters were deployed on Monday, June 8, to provide fire cover and ensure safety during the controlled demolition exercise.
The structure was successfully demolished with the assistance of earth-moving equipment, with no injuries, fatalities or other adverse incidents recorded.
The GNFS said debris collection and site-clearing activities are currently underway to make the area safe for residents, road users and occupants of adjoining properties.
