The exercise was carried out under the supervision of the Director of Capital Governorate Fire Department, Brigadier Ahmad Al-Rishadi, in the presence of the Officer of Fire Prevention Department of the Capital Governorate. The exercise also involved the fire teams of Al Helali and Al Madina Fire centers, led by the Head of Al Helali Fire center, Brigadier Fahad Al-Ajmi and the Head of Al Madina Fire center, Colonel Mohammed Al – Ali, where two teams were formed for rescue operations and others to fight the fire.
