The General Fireforce launched its summer awareness campaign, under the slogan “A Safe Summer with the Fire Department,” at Al Khiran Mall, aiming to raise public awareness about the risks and causes of fires and drowning incidents, which increase during the summer season, and to enhance community safety.

In this context, the Fire Department’s spokesperson, Brigadier General Mohammed Al-Gharib, told KUNA that the total number of reports handled by Fire Department teams across various governorates from January 1 to March 31, 2026, amounted to 3,633 reports, including fires, rescue operations, other accidents, and public services. Among these, 750 were fire incidents occurring in residential and non-residential premises and transportation vehicles across the country’s various governorates.

Al-Gharib added that the campaign will organize a variety of programs throughout the summer, including exhibitions, lectures, sea excursions, and visits to commercial complexes, as well as government and private institutions, to provide guidance on safety requirements, fire and accident prevention measures, and proper procedures for handling emergency situations.
