Hama-Sana
The Hama Fire Brigade continues to put out a major fire that broke out in agricultural lands in the town of Latamna in Hama countryside, affecting hundreds of dunums.
The commander of the Hama Fire Brigade, Colonel Thaer Hassan, told a SANA reporter that the elements of the fire brigade are supported by eight mechanisms belonging to the fire brigade and the Directorate of Agriculture continues to cut the lines of fire and separate the flames to prevent the spread of the fire, but the wind speed and the dry air help extend the fire horizontally in the agricultural lands.
Hassan pointed out that the fires also resulted in the explosion of 180 mines left by the terrorist organization Al-Nusra Front in the liberated area surrounding the Tatamina, explaining that the spread of mines impedes the movement of tanks and mechanisms and the movement of firefighters that make every effort to put out the fire.
