In order to enhance fire prevention measures across the country, the Acting Chief of the Kuwait Fire Force Major General Khaled Fahad announced the implementation of new safety regulations for investment buildings in Kuwait. The key project of connecting investment buildings to the Fire Force’s main operations room is expected to be completed by the end of the year. In an interview with the Kuwait News Agency on Saturday, Major General Fahad outlined the importance of these new regulations in light of recent incidents, particularly the Mangaf fire. The new regulations will now require all investment properties to install fire sprinklers. Earlier it was required for buildings with more than 10 floors only. He also emphasized the need to intensify inspections on buildings, focusing on areas such as suspended ceilings, roof doors, basements, and storage facilities to prevent future fires.
