Before the arrival of the rescue team and the fire brigade, he sacrificed himself to help the victims, who suffered burns and were sent to Isfahan for treatment after the initial measures in Ahvaz.

Ali, who dreamed of traveling to Karbala one day, just on the eve of Arbaeen, rushed to meet the Lord and became the guest of Imam Hussein (AS) in heaven.
