UNIFIL Spokesperson Andrea Tenenti said on Saturday that "the Indian Contingent helped the Lebanese Army and local authorities to extinguish a large fire that broke out on Friday in an area close to Hebbarieh in southern Lebanon."
"At the request of the local authorities, the peacekeepers intervened immediately on site to support the Lebanese firefighters," Tenenti indicated.
UNIFIL firefighters supplied the Lebanese firefighters with water, and later in the evening, the fire was extinguished.
