Fire Put Out at Adma Carpet Factory

Firefighters doused on Thursday a blaze that erupted at a two-storey carpet factory in the town of Adma, north of Beirut, media reports said.

The state-run National News Agency said five firefighting vehicles rushed to the area and controlled the fire that caused only limited material damage because the factory is empty.

Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) said the fire erupted as workers were welding the Eternit roofing of the factory that is owned by Gabriel Khoury.

Adma’s municipal council chief confirmed the damage of the blaze was limited.
