KUWAIT CITY, Nov 2, (Agencies): In the month of October, the General Fire Department took stringent action by shutting down 84 establishments for their failure to comply with safety and security regulations. The fire prevention sector meticulously documented 582 violations and granted licenses to 408 projects. This included the licensing of 373 new buildings and the issuance of 105 ownership transfer certificates and 165 clearance transactions.

In several instances, businesses were granted partial exemptions from specific fees, with the aim of facilitating compliance. The Fire Prevention Administration, in its efforts to underscore the importance of adherence to these regulations, emphasized the necessity of promptly renewing licenses.

Failure to renew licenses in a timely manner not only exposes business owners to fines that can amount to 20 dinars but also jeopardizes the safety and preservation of buildings, properties, and possessions.

These actions undertaken by the General Fire Department reflect a commitment to ensuring the highest standards of safety and security within establishments, thereby safeguarding lives and property from potential hazards.
