Some weeks ago, a fire broke out in my wife's office building next to Kia showroom, opposite Hamad Hospital. She could smell smoke inside her office on the 6th Floor of the building. I was shocked to learn from her that fire fighters had arrived and her office staff were still sitting tight in their offices. They had received no evacuation orders from the Civil Defence personnel, nor were the office bearers of the building conscious enough to know the seriousness of the situation.

I feel the same was being repeated at the mall yesterday that resulted in the deaths of innocent lives. Lets take this as an eye opener and learn something out of it.
