The Director of Press and Public Relations, Mohammed A. Ahmed, confirmed the incident, stating, “The fire started at 11:30 am in Block A, originating from a faulty circuit breaker in the electrical control room on the ground floor.”
According to the Station Commander of the Federal Fire Service, Mr. Kekai Bekebi, the fire was quickly brought under control by his team using fire extinguishers, and staff were safely evacuated.
