A fire broke out in a furniture warehouse in the city Qamişlo in the northeast of Syria early on Tuesday morning. The fire brigade was able to prevent the flames from spreading to adjacent residential buildings and extinguish the fire after several hours. The building in the Siyahî neighborhood was said to contain several oil barrels, which accelerated the fire.
According to initial investigations, a short circuit in a fuse box may have been the cause of the fire. The damage caused by the fire is said to be the equivalent of about 35,000 euros.
