Latakia-Sana
Firefighting teams in the agricultural directorate of Latakia put out a fire in a coniferous forest in Bashili village of Beit Yashout town in Jableh countryside.
The head of the forestry department, Bassem Waba, told SANA that 50 workers and 4 firefighters from Basmalakh and Zama forestry and firefighters in Jableh took part in extinguishing the fire, which was cordoned off around 12 p.m.
He pointed out that the eastern and dry winds helped spread the fire with difficulty in dealing with it as a result of the roughness of the area and the severe decline that hindered the arrival of the mechanisms to the place of the fire.
