Despite the immensity of the fire which erupted Friday
morning at the “Byblos Carpet Factory” located in Safra, the air flow direction
aided in limiting the blaze from spreading.
However this did not stop many concerned residents that live
close by from evacuating their homes.
Speaking to LBCI the residents said that they had fled their
homes due to the thick, suffocating smoke that covered the area and entered
their houses.
