A fire broke out on Thursday morning, damaging part of the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) offices in Ilala, Mnazi Mmoja, Dar es Salaam. Witnesses reported seeing smoke rising from the building shortly after 11 AM before flames became visible.
Firefighters rushed to the scene and worked to contain the blaze, preventing it from spreading to nearby buildings. Although the cause of the fire remains unknown, authorities have launched an investigation to determine what sparked the incident.
For now, it is unclear whether anyone was injured or the extent of the damage to crucial tax administration facilities housed in the building. The TRA offices in Ilala play a key role in tax collection and compliance, making the incident a concern for both businesses and individuals relying on the authority’s services.
Emergency response teams are continuing their work, and TRA officials are expected to release a statement regarding the situation. Those with urgent matters at the affected offices are advised to use alternative TRA service channels until further notice.
more details will follow as they become available.
