Amid nationwide heatwave, a forest fire rages in northern Morocco
Friday 30 June 2023 - 16:30

According to local sources, a fire broke out today in a forested area near the mountain of the village of Ain Hamra, north of the country, and flames are still expanding inside the forest and devouring important areas of the dense forestry.

Smoke from the fire is visible from afar, as the fire started raging near the wind power station. Efforts were made to contain the fire.

A Canadair aircraft began air interventions, as they carried out several outings over the scene of the fire to support the efforts of ground teams in an attempt to surround the fire and extinguish the fires, and avoid heavy losses in the components of the forest.
