Civil Defense reveals details of the Hamdaniyah fire

The Civil Defense Directorate revealed the details of the wedding hall fire incident in Al-Hamdaniya, Nineveh Governorate.

The Directorate stated in a statement: “The wedding hall is covered with highly flammable Ecobond panels that violate safety instructions and has been referred to the judiciary according to Civil Defense Law No. 44 of 2013 due to its lack of safety requirements for wet alarm and firefighting systems in the Al-Hamdaniyah area in Nineveh Governorate.”

It added, "The fire led to the collapse of parts of the hall as a result of the use of highly flammable, low-cost building materials that collapse within minutes when the fire breaks out."
