A massive fire has erupted in Wadi Al Rumma, located between Al Rass and Al Qurain in Saudi Arabia’s Qassim region.
The Saudi Civil Defence has confirmed their ongoing efforts to extinguish the fire, which has affected trees along the valley. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported.
“The civil defence in Al Rass is responding to a fire in the course of a valley, and extinguishing operations are still ongoing,” the statement detailed.
Videos of the fire have been circulating on the “X” platform, showing the extent of the blaze.
An investigation is underway to determine the origins of the fire and to identify any possible culprits behind the incident.
Wadi Al Rumma is one of the Arabian Peninsula’s longest river valleys, stretching 600 km from Al Abyad Mountain near Medina to the Ad Dahna desert in the Al Qassim region near Burayda. It is known for its natural beauty, featuring rugged terrain, cliffs, and occasional water flow during rainy seasons. Despite its natural beauty, it often dries up due to scarce rainfall.
