KUWAIT:
Firefighters put out a fire at an apartment block, which includes several
garages, a gas cylinder store room and residential units, in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh
with no injuries reported. In spite of arriving at the scene within five
minutes, firefighters faced the danger of further explosions due to the
presence of car oils, tires and gas cylinders in a residential area, Kuwait
Fire Service Directorate said.

It noted that the
building's owners would be held liable and would face severe measures for using
residential units in contrary to their intended purpose presenting a high risk
to occupants and firefighters.
