Fire breaks out at two places in Bahrain

ManamaTwo incidents of fire were reported yesterday, though there was no loss of life in either of the cases. 

In the first incident, a fire broke out in a restaurant in Hidd, but there were no casualties as the flames were doused by the Civil Defence team immediately. 

A resident in the locality told DT News that the incident occurred at around 12:00 pm and that no one was injured. Ministry of Interior on its twitter handle later confirmed the incident saying “investigations are underway to find out the cause of the incident”. 

In the second and larger fire, a labour camp in the Shaikh Hamad Avenue, Manama, was completely destroyed, causing some anxious moments in the area.

According to sources, more than 40 labourers were staying at the camp.   

One of the sources told us that the fire engulfed the camp when he was out for evening prayers. 

“I came to know about the incident from a friend while I was performing my evening prayers,” the source said.

 He told me “our house is on fire”.

“Many of us have to find an alternative solution as the place is completely damaged.” 

Initial investigations prove short circuit as the reason for the fire, a Ministry of Interior statement said. 

“The civil defence extinguished the fire swiftly,” the statement added.
