Kuwait Fire Force stood firm in face of aggression

KUWAIT CITY, June 16: The Kuwait Fire Force (KFF) proved the high level of readiness and dedication from the outset of the Iranian aggression against the country. The performance of its personnel underscored their commitment to protect lives and properties, and maintain public safety under challenging circumstances. KFF displayed strong operational preparedness and carried out significant response efforts in dealing with debris, resulting from intercepted missiles and drones, as well as fires caused by the attacks in several locations.

These efforts highlighted the competence of KFF and its vital role in addressing field emergencies and protecting communities through determination and professionalism. Since the beginning of the Iranian aggression on Feb 28, KFF has maintained full operational readiness in all its centers in the governorates. Its response was supported by emergency plans and a high level of preparedness, carried out in coordination with the Kuwait Armed Forces, Ministry of Interior and Kuwait National Guard. During the period of aggression, KFF showed its operational role through its direct response to an increasing number of reports related to incidents affecting vital facilities and residential areas.

Firefighting teams responded rapidly to incidents, working to contain fires and prevent their spread, while seeking to protect lives and properties under difficult circumstances. The extensive distribution of fire stations throughout the governorates played a vital role in enhancing response times to both usual and extraordinary incidents linked to the repercussions of the aggression. This broad geographical coverage enabled emergency teams to reach incident sites quickly, contributing significantly to limiting damage and bringing situations under control. Through its official spokesperson, Brigadier General Mohammad Al-Gharib, KFF provided daily media briefings and explanatory statements outlining the nature of the incidents handled and the measures taken in response to routine and exceptional reports arising from the situation.
