BAGHDAD, July 24 (Xinhua) — A fire broke out in a residential building in eastern Baghdad on Wednesday, killing at least four people and seriously injuring two others, an Iraqi Interior Ministry source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
According to him, the incident took place in the Al-Amin quarter. Due to the heat and severe overload, an electrical transformer caught fire, and the flames quickly spread to a nearby residential building.
Civil defense personnel arrived at the scene to extinguish the fire, the source said.
A few days ago, a major fire at a hypermarket in Kut, the capital of Wasit province in eastern Iraq, claimed the lives of at least 61 people.
Fires have become more frequent in Iraq recently, with many parts of the country experiencing sweltering heat, reaching 50 degrees Celsius. –0–
