"Aden Square" Ignites.. Civil Defense Extinguishes Sponge Complex Fire and Rescues Trapped Workers

A massive fire broke out inside a factory and a group of commercial shops specializing in selling sponges in the Aden Square area of the capital, Baghdad, before Civil Defense crews managed to fully control it. "Rafidain News" reported that the teams mobilized immediately upon receiving the call and carried out storming and firefighting operations, "fighting bravely to encircle the flames and isolate them from neighboring factories." The incident resulted in four workers suffering from intense gas emissions; they were rescued with no significant human losses recorded, while the forensic evidence report is awaited to determine the causes of the fire.
