Damascus, SANA-Syrian Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management, Raed al-Saleh, said that civil defense and firefighting teams have successfully halted the spread of wildfires across all axes in the northern countryside of Latakia, marking a major step toward controlling the blazes.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter extensive and continuous efforts by civil defense, firefighting brigades, and supporting Turkish and Arab teams to extinguish the forest fires in Latakia, the teams managed to stop the fire\u2019s spread on all fronts, which is the most crucial step toward containment,\u201d In a post on platform X today, al-Saleh stated.<\/p>\n
He added \u201cFirefighting teams are intensively working to extinguish remaining hotspots and cool the areas already put out, the situation is moving toward containment, followed by comprehensive cooling operations,\u201d<\/p>\n
Al-Saleh continued \u201cAccording to the operations room\u2019s assessment, today\u2019s situation is the best in ten days. There are still threats due to wind activity, but we are working to prevent any renewed fire expansion. We wouldn\u2019t have reached this stage without unified efforts, high-level coordination, widespread public support, and assistance from Turkish, Jordanian, Lebanese, Iraqi, and Qatari firefighting teams.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the tenth consecutive day, Syrian civil defense teams, firefighting brigades, and their support teams have been working tirelessly to prevent further loss of green forested areas and contain the fires before they reach the forests of Frunluq and Kassab, which had flames reach their edges in the past two days.<\/p>\n
