Amman, June 22 (Petra) — Civil defense teams in East Amman responded
to a fire that broke out inside a four-storey building in the
Qweismeh area of the capital.

According to a Public Security Directorate spokesperson, the
building’s lower floors were used for commercial purposes, including
a carpentry workshop with wood materials and a paint shop, while the
upper floors contained residential apartments.

Firefighting crews managed to quickly control the blaze and prevent
it from spreading to other parts of the building or to nearby
structures, despite the presence of highly flammable materials that
contributed to dense smoke.

Two individuals suffered from smoke inhalation and experienced
breathing difficulties. Civil defense teams provided them with first
aid at the scene before transferring them to Al Bashir Government
Hospital, where their condition was reported as moderate.

The response involved multiple civil defense units from across Amman,
supported by security forces and municipal water tankers. Authorities
have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the fire.
