STOREHOUSES of at least three companies on Street 47 of the Industrial Area were destroyed in a major fire that broke out yesterday evening.
Losses are still to be assessed, according to managers of one of the affected companies.
Though no casualties or injuries were reported, goods worth millions of riyals were said to be destroyed. The cause of the fire was not known until late in the evening. However, some unofficial sources attributed it to a short-circuit.
Civil defence teams were tackling the blaze until late in the evening. Thick plumes of smoke could be seen even from far-off places.
Among the destroyed were the storehouses of a plastic manufacturing company and a fibre-glass company. Little information was available about the materials stored in the third storehouse.
The absence of streetlights made the firefighters’ job difficult. They had to rely on the lights equipped on their vehicles to monitor the operations.
Windy conditions caused the fire to spread to the neighbouring storehouses after it broke out in the fibre-glass manufacturers’ storehouse.
Emergency medical service deployed at least four ambulances, besides a disaster relief vehicle. However, no one was injured in the fire, an official confirmed.

What a dull reply, I really don't know why I bother! Humourous dead zone here as far as I can see.

"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365
not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the
many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers
were given. Satan - 10."
It was a massive fire.
I have some cream, if it helps.
