PHOTOS: Massive fire erupts near furniture store on Salwa Road

First responders have been putting out a massive blaze near a furniture store on Salwa Road in Qatar this evening.

The fire swelled around 7:30pm this evening at what the Gulf Times reports was the Al Sharq Curtain Shop, located between Studio Qatar and an under-construction building.

The blaze was near the Teyseer Petrol Station. Thick smoke could be seen billowing near the area, according to witnesses driving as far as Dar Al Salam mall.
