In a dramatic rescue operation, the General Directorate of Civil Defense successfully saved an Asian man who was trapped by the Manama market fire for over five hours. The man had taken refuge in a water tank on the roof of the building, where he remained hidden from firefighters for an extended period.

According to reports, the man was initially seen waving to firefighters from the roof. However, as the fire intensified, he sought shelter in the water tank as a last resort. Rescue teams, using drones to track his movements, eventually located him and managed to enter the building to pull him to safety.

The man's five-hour ordeal highlights the bravery and determination of the Civil Defense personnel who risked their lives to save him. Their quick thinking and innovative use of technology played a crucial role in the successful rescue.

The Civil Defense continues to investigate the cause of the fire and assess the extent of the damage. They urge the public to avoid the area as they work to secure the scene and ensure the safety of residents and businesses.
