Firefighting teams from Kabd, Istiqlal, Sulaibikhat, and Al-Isnad centers controlled a fire that broke out in a warehouse storing various types of flammable materials in the Sulaibiya agricultural area. The teams acted swiftly to contain the blaze. No injuries were reported during the incident.

In a related effort to enhance public safety, the Kuwait Fire Force released an awareness brochure yesterday, offering guidance to citizens and residents on preventing fires and protecting children.

Published on the Force’s “X” platform, the brochure emphasized the importance of adult supervision, keeping children away from electrical and heat sources, never leaving fire hazards within children’s reach, monitoring them around swimming pools, and accompanying them while using elevators, reports Al-Anba daily.

The brochure aims to reduce accidents and increase community awareness of fire safety measures, particularly in households with young children. Authorities stressed that following these precautions can significantly minimize the risk of fire-related incidents and injuries.

The Sulaibiya warehouse fire serves as a reminder of the potential dangers posed by flammable materials and the importance of rapid response and proper fire safety infrastructure.

The KFF continues to emphasize the dual approach of active firefighting readiness and public education to minimize risks and ensure community safety across Kuwait.

Authorities also reiterated the importance of ongoing inspections and preventive campaigns to maintain a high level of fire safety compliance nationwide.

Overall, the combined efforts of emergency teams, public awareness campaigns, and regulatory inspections aim to strengthen fire prevention and protection measures, safeguarding both citizens and property.
