The firefighting operation was led on the ground by KFF Chair Major General Talal Mohammed Al-Roumi and Acting Deputy Chief of the Firefighting Sector Brigadier General Omar Hamad. KFF Director of the Public Relations and Media Department Brigadier General Mohammed Al-Gharib confirmed that nine fire stations, along with the National Guard and the Kuwait Army, successfully brought the fire under control.
The blaze covered an area of approximately 70,000 square meters that contained wood and scrap materials. He explained that firefighting teams made great efforts to fully extinguish the fire, and worked diligently to isolate the flames and prevent them from spreading to adjacent plots. Strong winds had contributed to the rapid spread of the fire, which broke out on Friday afternoon. Security forces and emergency medical teams were also present at the scene to ensure safety and provide support.
