Yet another fire ...So, in the last couple of weeks, we've had a fire at:
a girls' school
the rugby club
villaggio
the Pearl
Quite a coincidence, don't ya think? !
That just leaves a major (Western) hotel and a major (Western) compound and they've done the lot.
Allah o akbar!

Inna Lillahi wa inna Illaihi Rajioon ...Frightening news again..Allahu Must3aan! I'm really not one into conspiracy theories and what not but this is just too much to grasp. So many fires in such a short time period.. what is happening? God have mercy on those poor trapped workers and keep us all safe..Aameen!

I thought working hour is until ...7 pm only! Something fishy! The risk of working on high-rise buildings. I'm used to it.
FINALLY...............the best thing happened!

fire ...it was not a small fire as smoke is still going up. but luckily no one is injured and it was under control after short time.
i dont believe something fishy or other conspiracies , they have lots of stored materials there on construction site which burns easily.
