Beirut firefighters recall day they lost ’10 best friends’

It feels like yesterday; these guys do not leave my mind, I think of them every day. If my house wasn’t near the port, I wouldn’t ever look at it again. Firefighter Wafiq al-Sebaay was remembering his 10 colleagues and friends who died in the line of duty last year when they were called to put out a fire at a warehouse at Beirut’s Port on Aug. 4, 2020.
