HIBAPRESS – Sidi Allal Bahraoui
Efforts to extinguish a major fire that broke out inside a building in the city of Sidi Allal Bahraoui, in the province of Khémisset, are continuing at this time on Friday, amid a state of alert among local authorities and a number of interveners.
Immediately after being notified of the fire, civil protection elements arrived at the scene in one truck, where they began initial attempts to extinguish the fire, but they were not sufficient to control the flames. The intervention was reinforced with a tanker truck belonging to the Tiflet community, which contributed to supporting the field efforts.
Local sources also reported that a number of workers and temporary agents participated in the initial efforts to contain the fire, pending the reinforcement of the intervention with additional logistical means.
Royal Gendarmerie elements arrived at the scene immediately after being notified of the accident, in order to secure its surroundings and open initial inspection procedures, while extinguishing operations continue and attempts are made to prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring buildings.
In the same context, a number of citizens renewed their demands for the need to strengthen the means of work of the civil protection in the region, especially providing it with fire extinguishing trucks and sufficient logistical equipment, which allows for rapid and effective intervention in such accidents, to avoid the aggravation of losses.
The human or material losses are not known until now, while the extinguishing operations continue, awaiting the results of the field intervention.
