2 Young girls killed in camp fire in Mutlaa

Two young girls were killed while their parents and sister were injured in a fire that broke out in one of the camps in the desert of Mutlaa north of the country Tuesday. Kuwait Fire Service Directorate (KFSD) said in a press statement that firefighters managed to extinguish the fire that destroyed three tents and a vehicle in the desert of Mutlaa north of the country which killed two young girls and injured their parents and their 12-year-old sister. The KFSD added that the first tent caught fire first and due to the speed of wind, the fire moved into the neighboring tent quickly before destroying the third and a nearby SUV vehicle. For his part, Director of Public Relations and Media at the KFSD Colonel Khalil Al-Amir urged national and expatriates to take all measures to prevent the dangers of fire and the need of an extinguisher and fire blanket.
