Somaliland dispatches Firefighters to Ethiopia’s Somali region following Massive Fire broke out largest market in the region

Somaliland has taken prompt action by deploying a team of firefighters to the Somali region in Ethiopia, in response to a devastating massive fire that ravaged the largest market in the area. This incident resulted in significant loss of valuable properties, including buildings.

According to initial reports, the diligent efforts of the fire brigade successfully prevented the fire from spreading to nearby areas, thereby averting further casualties. The cause of the fire remains unknown at this point, and investigations are underway to determine its origin. To bolster the firefighting operations, additional assistance from Herer has been dispatched to actively participate in extinguishing the fire.

In March of the previous year, a similar incident occurred where a fire engulfed one of Jigjiga’s major markets, devouring shops that traded in second-hand clothes and the vegetable market. 

Traders suspected that the fire was triggered by a faulty tank belonging to the market’s electricity companies; however, the official cause has yet to be officially confirmed.
