Fire breaks out at Saudi-UAE border

21/05/2018 Argaam

A huge fire broke out on Sunday in a warehouse at Saudi Arabia's Al-Batha border customs checkpoint near UAE's Al Ghweifat border, the Saudi Customs said in a statement.

 

The blaze was contained, as the customs area was cleared of all trucks and vehicles. Items burnt in the blaze included paints, oils, clothes, batteries, paper towels, cars, trucks and confiscated cars.

 

The fire did not affect the commercial traffic in all customs departments, or the passenger movement, the customs authority added.

 

 

Civil defense teams from Al-Batha, Salwa, Al Ahsa and firefighters from the border guards at the port helped extinguish the fire.

 

The incident is currently under investigation, the statement added.
