Events are scheduled weekly and will take place five times a week.
In a press statement, Doha Fire Station director Khalifa al-Obaidly said: “It's not the first year when Fire Station runs a special programme to support young artists. We see this as an important mission of our institution that helps to support the young generations of creators.
