Fire breaks out in Jeddah Sulaymaniyah area, Saudi Arabia

A fire broke out in Jeddah’s al-Sulaymaniyah neighborhood, Saudi Arabia’s Civil Defense in the Mecca region said on Thursday.

Iran Press/Middle East: A spokesman said the civil defense successfully put out a fire that erupted in a number of temporary contractor offices (portable cabins) with an area of 1,200 square meters in Jeddah’s al-Sulaymaniyah neighborhood near the Haramain high-speed rail station.

The cabins had no employees inside and there were no injuries or casualties, the general directorate of Saudi Civil Defense said on Twitter.

In October 2019, a fire broke out in the Haramain station in Jeddah and the train service was suspended.

The Haramain high-speed railway – which was inaugurated by King Salman bin Abdulaziz in 2018 – links Mecca, Jeddah, King Abdullah Economic City, and Medina.
