Two clothes storerooms burnt around 2 O’clock after mid-night, in Bab Al-Salam Street. An eye-witness said that he noticed an electric short circuit outside the storerooms and started crying for help. Soon after, people gathered and started pouring water on the electrical wire, which added insult to injury. The fire spread rapidly and was extinguished after it turned two storerooms into ashes.
