Civil Defense personnel from the Damour center are currently working to extinguish a significant fire at a plastic collection site in southern Beirut, the National News Agency reported.
The blaze, exacerbated by high temperatures, has grown to a substantial size, making the task more challenging.
The team is facing difficulties due to the highly flammable plastic materials, but efforts are ongoing.
A source at the Civil Defense told L'Orient Today that the Lebanese Army has a shooting range training site in the area which caused the fire.
A Lebanese army spokesperson told L'Orient Today they have no information as to why the fire started.
