Sahar enlisted with the Beirut Fire Brigade as a nurse. On August 4, 2020, she switched shifts with one of her teammates who would replace her the next day. When the brigade received a call about a fire at the port of Beirut, Sahar responded with her fellow firefighters, and she started sending photos to her fiancé who was telling her to run when all connection was lost. Sahar could not run, and she died immediately.
