Fire safety
One of the airconditioners in our house had a short circuit and caught on fire after iftar today . we quickly turned off the electricity and got the children out. we called 999 and told them we had a fire so they transferred us to civil defense department and told them we had a fire and the answer we got was what fire no speak arabic. it took us more than 15 mins of yelling for them to understand what we wanted and get a rough idea of our location which is in a very central part of city by which time we had put out the fire ourselves , so they decided there was no need for them to come at all. such an episode after the tragedy the happened at villagio is completely unacceptable.
