Syrian Civil Defense firefighting teams extinguished a fire broke out in a lumber warehouse in al-Midan neighborhood in Damascus, causing material damage but no injuries were reported, Civil Defense said.
Head of Civil Defense in Damascus, Hassan al-Hassan, stated to SANA that their teams managed to contain and extinguish the fire that broke out last night after more than eight hours of ongoing work.
Al-Hassan pointed out that ten firefighting vehicles and more than thirty personnel took part in the extinguishing operations. The fire was successfully contained, preventing it from spreading to nearby buildings
He noted that the firefighting teams faced significant challenges due to the difficulty of accessing the depths of the site, caused by the density of materials and the absence of safety systems inside the warehouses.
The Syrian Civil Defense is making significant efforts to enhance public safety and promote a culture of community-based prevention, ensuring the protection of citizens and property under all circumstances.
