Civil Defense firemen fought a fire for three hours to save three warehouses containing sponge and wood. The fire broke out on Friday night in Hafr Al-Batin industrial estate. Lt. Col. Mansour Al-Dowsari, spokesperson of the Eastern Province Civil Defense, said the fire caused big losses, which are being estimated. Investigations are still going on to determine the causes of the fire. Firefighting teams from Al-Balad and Al-Sulaimania and machinery from the municipality dealt with the inferno. Workers in the three warehouses tried their best to save whatever they could save from being engulfed by the fire.
