Ajman Civil Defence honors boy, 9, for helping stop house fire

Ajman Civil Defence honoured a nine-year-old boy, Rashid Abdullah Al Hosani, for his bravery and quick-thinking when he prevented a house fire from spreading. The General Directorate of Civil Defence recognized the young hero for his swift response after noticing the blaze in his home. Working with his grandmother, Rashid contained and extinguished the fire using a soaked blanket, averting a potential disaster.

To acknowledge his actions, he was welcomed to the Civil Defence headquarters and given an appreciation award, followed by a tour of the facilities, a firefighting equipment demonstration, and a fire safety session. While the outcome was positive, Civil Defence emphasized that children should not extinguish fires alone and should alert adults and contact emergency services instead.
