Colombo, Nov. 6 -- A fire that broke out late Wednesday at a matchbox manufacturing factory in the Pallekele Investment Zone in Sri Lanka's Central Province was brought under control after a few hours following a coordinated emergency response, police said.
The fire spread rapidly through the facility under still-unexplained circumstances, prompting authorities to deploy nearly ten water bowsers and request support from the Sri Lanka Army, police said.
