The Ministry of Interior, which had tweeted about another small fire earlier this afternoon, cleared up the confusion about 40 minutes after the first fire tweets went out:
Civil Defence contained another small fire at a ground with timber wastage in Bin Omran area behind Town Centre. No casualties.

Though, not everyone appreciated the updates.
We DON’T need to know about every single small fire that happens in Doha. Please don’t spread everything you hear. thanks.
