An intense fire broke out in a workers' housing compound in Al-Daghareer. Thick smoke billowed from the inferno, and the residents were unable to put out the fire on their own, so they called the Samta Civil Defense Department. All the workers escaped unhurt. 1st Lt. Yahya Al-Qahtani, spokesman for the department, said the cause of the fire was an electrical defect in an air conditioner. – Okaz __
