According to reports, a fire tore through Uluwatu on Monday afternoon. Coconuts Bali reported that the fire broke out near Ulu Cliff before spreading to Bluepoint. The cause is unknown.
So far, there are no reports of injuries, but social media has been flooded with clips of the raging fire, and local crews have been working to extinguish the flames. According to the Canggu Community Facebook page, “the crew got the fire under control before it reached Single Fin & the warungs. No word of anyone being harmed.”
“Walking out my front door at Padang Padang I noticed a huge smoke cloud coming from Uluwatu,” wrote Rory Russell on Instagram. “I grabbed my drone, hopped on my scooter, and raced toward the blaze. Once I reached Angle Mart the scene was hectic. Fire trucks were racing back and forth trying to get the raging fire under control. I have to admit for the lack of support they did an amazing job and got the fire contained before it reached Single Fin and the warungs underneath. Very sad to see so much destruction, just hoping everyone is ok.”
We’ll have more on this story as it develops.
