JEDDAH — The head of Jeddah's Civil Defense, Brig. Salem Al-Matrafi, said that there has been a noticeable reduction in fire incidents in the city since the start of current new year. He said there is a 78 percent reduction compared to the same period last year when there were 54 reported fire cases against only 15 this year. Al-Matrafi attributed this to periodic inspection campaigns of the Civil Defense to factories, warehouses, workshops and petrol stations to monitor safety procedures.
