Kuwait Fire Force (KFF) announced on Wednesday that it has dealt with 90 non-routine reports since the beginning of the Iranian aggression, including fires resulting from shrapnel or direct targeting, in addition to carrying out preparedness duties and securing sites across the country.
This came in a statement delivered by Director of Public Relations and Media and official spokesperson for the Fire Force, Brigadier General Mohammad Al-Gharib, during a press briefing on current events and the latest field developments.
Al-Gharib said that during the past 24 hours, the Fire Force continued to carry out its duties in responding to fires caused by direct targeting from hostile drones or missiles, or as a result of falling shrapnel following interception by air defenses.
He added that firefighters extinguished a blaze that broke out at dawn in the fuel tanks at Kuwait International Airport following a drone strike linked to the Iranian aggression, noting that damage was limited to material losses with no human injuries reported.
He also pointed to a fire caused by falling shrapnel near a residential home in one of the country’s governorates, which was handled by fire teams. Al-Gharib urged citizens and residents to exercise caution and avoid approaching or attempting to handle fires or foreign objects resulting from falling shrapnel, due to the potential risk to lives, especially as such objects may contain highly flammable or hazardous materials.
He emphasized the importance of immediately reporting such incidents via the emergency hotline (112), leaving their handling to Fire Force teams to ensure public safety.
He affirmed that all Fire Force personnel continue to perform their national duty with vigilance and dedication, prioritizing the protection of lives, property, and societal security. He concluded by praying to Allah Almighty to protect Kuwait and its people under the wise leadership of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, and His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah. – Kuna
