Thursday, September 3, 2015

A huge fire broke out in an under-construction 16-storey building in Shaab. Firemen from Hawally, Salmiya, Kuwait City, Subhan and the operations and backup centers rushed to the scene.

According to report, due to strong winds and the presence of large quantities of construction lumber, the flames were very huge and threatened adjacent buildings, which had to be evacuated. The fire department had just mobilized its second highest firefighting ladder one hour before the fire, and used it in fighting the blaze. No casualties were reported but an investigation is in progress to determine the cause of the fire.
