Civil defense teams respond to 36 fires across Syria without registering any casualties.
Yesterday, Friday, November 13, Syrian Civil Defense teams at the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management responded to 36 fires across Syria.
The fires that broke out included homes, shops, grass, trees, trash and power lines as crews worked to extinguish them, cool their location and secure them.
The damage caused by the fires was limited to substantial losses, with no civilian casualties.
The teams were reminded of the need not to start fires in wooded areas and agricultural fields, and not to throw cigarette butts or glass containers on the sides of roads, especially in areas close to agricultural crops and forests.
I emphasized to avoid burning dry weeds around houses or on roadsides, and to act to remove them in safe ways.
