A major Tehran market fire erupted today in the Jannat Abad area of northwest Tehran. The blaze created thick smoke that spread across nearby neighborhoods. Many residents saw the smoke rising, and some felt concerned about safety. Firefighters acted after receiving the first call. In response, teams from five stations rushed to the warehouse to stop the flames. The fire burned strongly, and the smoke filled the air. However, the firefighters managed to control the blaze.
