The National Agency for Water and Forests has called upon the nearby residents of forest areas, as well as workers, vacationers, and visitors, to exercise caution and avoid any activities that may cause fires, as well as to promptly notify the local authorities if they observe any smoke or suspicious behavior.
This call came after the agency updated fire risk prediction maps based on scientific data, which accurately identify sensitive areas at risk of wildfire outbreaks, for the period extending from July 6 to July 12, 2026, in order to anticipate the phenomenon of forest fires at the national level.
