Damascus-SANA
The Forestry and Fire Monitoring Platform (Fermo) of the General Authority for Remote Sensing warned that some forest sites in northwest Syria will be affected on Saturday and Sunday by very high and severe levels of fire risk.
The platform's chairperson, Dr. Rosa Qaramuka, explained in a statement to SANA reporter that the indicators of the danger of fires indicate that the forest sites in northwest Syria are affected today by the levels of medium and high fire risk, with the expectation that the geographical area affected by high levels will expand than it was yesterday.
Garmouqa indicated that it is possible for temperatures to rise from 3 to 5 degrees above their average for this period, according to the General Directorate of Meteorology, pointing out that the current and next month are among the months most affected by the levels of fire risk during the season, due to the dryness of the ground vegetation cover and the low relative humidity.
Garmouqa called not to start any fires and to report any fire or smoke on the toll-free numbers 188 and 113, noting the efforts of workers in the forestry directorates in all governorates, and the forest protection teams for their constant readiness and readiness to confront the fires despite the difficulties, and the rugged forest sites.
