A major blaze also happened four months ago in the same vicinity. On May 13, the 13-storey Al Zarooni Building on Halim Street caught fire following a blast that originated from a gas leak at the Pearl View restaurant and cafeteria located on the ground floor of the same building.

Up until now, the entire Al Zarooni building and other restaurants that were not gutted by the fire remain closed. Some residents, Khaleej Times learned, have moved to nearby buildings.
