She video-called her fiancée from the ambulance, signaled to him she’d talk later. She left the truck to get a better view of the fire,. He saw her at a loss, looking from side-to-side, not knowing what to do. Their signal was lost, and that was the last time he saw her.

Exclusive footage of the moment before Beirut's ruin. And the devastating story of Sahar Fares, the 27 year old firefighter medic who lost her life in the blast. @GhassanBBC @colmonews @cswift2
Sahar was the only female member of the team. Her and nine colleagues were lost in the explosion.
She loved her job, evening going into the firehouse on her days off.
