People are being requested to avoid the Walu Bay area, as authorities work to contain a leak from a fuel tank.

National Fire Authority officials are at the scene, while Police have cordoned off the Walu Bay entry points from Suva and Lami.


Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations Kasiano Vusonilawe is calling on members of the public to cooperate with authorities.

People working nearby said they noticed the leak before 6 this morning when the National Fire Authority and police pulled up.

Authorities say they are emptying the tank by allowing it to leak, with the fuel flowing through underground pipes into fuel trucks.


People working nearby have been told to go home.
