Thick black smoke darkened the afternoon Suva skies yesterday as the Flea Market and Value City went up in a blaze.
The smoke could be seen from miles away. It was an ordeal as firefighters fought off the flames from spreading to the TOTAL fuel tanks located next to the buildings.
People were seen rushing from the scene while Police closed off the area for public safety.
