The fire started early Monday morning around 5 a.m. All the equipment used in daily operations, including garments, cotton, and other materials, were destroyed in the blaze.

Yves Ntabana, the Head of Corporate Affairs at C&D Products Rwanda, told IGIHE that the factory burned down completely. Everything inside was destroyed, including work tables, machines, fabric storage, and clothing materials."

The fire was finally extinguished in the morning, although it took longer due to the factory’s large size.

In an interview, Police spokesperson ACP Boniface Rutikanga confirmed the incident noting that the value of damaged valuables are yet to be determined.

"The fire started on the upper floor, not in the main factory area. The premises were locked, and no one was inside. A lot of property was damaged, but the extent is yet to be assessed. Fortunately, no one was injured, and no neighboring factories were affected. The cause of the fire is still unknown."

C&D Products Rwanda is one of the leading textile manufacturers in Rwanda.

All the equipment used in daily operations, including garments, cotton, and other materials, were destroyed in the blaze.
