Sep 16 2024

A fire broke out in the server room of the Fort Business Centre in Mrieħel on Monday morning, leading to the evacuation of the building and nearby Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) offices. The fire occurred shortly before 9 a.m., prompting staff to be evacuated as a precautionary measure.

Firefighters quickly responded to the scene, extinguishing the blaze by 9:45 a.m. Staff were allowed to return to the building once the fire was under control. No injuries were reported during the incident.

While reports initially suggested that the nearby Quad complex was also affected, business activity there continued as usual. The MFSA building, although not directly impacted by the fire, was evacuated for safety reasons, with employees moved outdoors until the situation was resolved.

The Fort Business Centre is home to multiple companies, including gaming firm Evolution AB and accounting firm Grant Thornton. The cause of the fire, as well as details regarding which company’s server room was involved, remain unclear.

This marked the second fire incident in Malta that morning, following a car fire on the Marsa-Ħamrun bypass, which caused traffic disruptions.
