He added that the young officer immediately informed the emergency police to send the civil defense forces, but he sensed the danger of waiting, so he rushed and grabbed one of the fire extinguishers and got himself in the middle of the fire, and continued to fight it until he put it out moments before the arrival of the civil defense forces.

The source stressed that this officer is not one of his duties to put out fires, and he is not a specialist in that, and he did not have sufficient tools, but he did so out of responsibility and duty.
