The fire service announced on the social media platform X that its teams were responding to "two fires that erupted in two different locations" following the latest Iranian assaults. The statement confirmed that the events "resulted in injuries among firemen and a worker," who were subsequently transported for medical attention.

This escalation occurs as the US president issued a warning to Iran on March 26, urging the nation to pursue talks to end the ongoing Middle East war "before it is too late." Tehran had publicly rejected previous US overtures aimed at resolving the nearly four-week conflict. The current hostilities stem from strikes launched by Israel and the United States on Iran on February 28, which resulted in the death of Iran's supreme leader and triggered a wider war across the Middle East.
