- JEDDAH: A teapot left on an electric hotplate was linked to a fire that broke out at a dormitory for nurses at Prince Abdul Mohsen Hospital in Al-Ula, Madinah province, late Wednesday night.
Madinah Civil Defense spokesman Maj. Khaled Mubarak Al-Johani told Arab News on Thursday that there were no deaths, but one firefighter sustained light burn injuries to his hands.
“The Civil Defense was able to put out the fire before it spread to other rooms,” said Al-Johani.
