Tabriz fire department faces criticism over response delay

A fire broke out in a vacant lot near Laleh Railway Park in Tabriz, raising concerns regarding the response time of the local fire department. Despite the site being located just steps away from a fire station, emergency vehicles reportedly arrived 20 minutes after the incident began, following persistent pressure from residents and journalists.

Local citizens have called for transparency regarding the delay and have requested that authorities address the management of abandoned lots in sensitive urban areas to prevent future fire hazards and social issues.
