Baghdad – WAA
The Civil Defense Directorate announced today, Saturday, that it had extinguished a fire that broke out in irregular kiosks in the second Al-Hussainiya market in Baghdad.
The Directorate stated, in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that it “succeeded in containing and extinguishing a fire that broke out inside a number of kiosks built from (ginko) panels used to trade consumer electrical appliances inside the second Al-Hussainiya market, northeast of Baghdad.”
She added: “Civil Defense teams were mobilized, surrounded the fire, and isolated the burning stalls from the rest of the market. The extinguishing and cooling operations were completed without recording any human injuries, while limiting the material damage.”
She pointed out that “the market is random and irregular and lacks the minimum safety conditions and requirements of civil defense, with random storage piled up in piles of electrical appliances and plastic materials that are difficult to extinguish and cool. As a result, civil defense requested an investigation to be opened at the police station responsible for the geographical area and to summon a forensic expert to determine the causes of the fire in the first place.”
