Nineteen Al-Rai facilities have been closed by KFF due to safety concerns and violations.
In the heart of Kuwait, the Al-Rai area witnessed a significant event this morning as the Kuwait Fire Force, in collaboration with several government agencies, conducted a large-scale inspection campaign targeting fire safety violations.
The campaign, part of an ongoing drive running until August 20, 2025, aimed to cover areas from Al Rai to Al Nahyan Road (Fifth Ring Road). This operation was a continuation of the Fire Force's commitment to enforcing fire safety standards in industrial sectors, with the ultimate goal of preventing potential hazards.
During the inspection, 19 industrial facilities were found to be in violation of safety regulations and were administratively closed. This action underscores the Fire Force's determination to maintain high safety standards.
The participating ministries and authorities included the ministries of Electricity and Water, Commerce, the Public Authority for Industry, the Environment Public Authority, and the Kuwait Municipality.
In addition to the closures, the campaign issued 56 warnings and notices to establishments for fire safety violations. However, no new industrial facilities or shops were administrately closed beyond the initial 19.
The Kuwait Fire Force and the participating ministries and authorities have not disclosed specific details about the establishments that received warnings and notices.
This operation in Al-Rai complements other recent inspection campaigns, such as the one in Fahaheel, where 53 industrial facilities were shut down for similar violations, indicating a broad and strict enforcement drive across Kuwait.
Further updates on the campaign and its outcomes can be found on the website, Instagram, and Facebook of the respective news source. The campaign is part of ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with fire prevention and safety standards.
The Kuwait Fire Force is focusing on enforcing fire safety standards, not just in the Al-Rai area, but also in the industrial sectors across Kuwait. This drive, running until August 20, 2025, involves collaboration with key ministries such as Finance (Ministry of Electricity and Water) and Industry (Public Authority for Industry). The objective is to prevent potential hazards through regular inspections and compliance checks.
