Lattakia Governor Khaled Abaza told SANA that the firefighting teams are doing their atmost as to prevent the fire from extending to the houses, pointing out that the fire is huge and the weather doesn’t help, as the firefighting teams are facing the strong wind and the rough terrain of the area.

For its part, the Ministry of Health announced full mobilization of the emergency system and health facilities affiliated to Lattakia Health Directorate due to the expansion of the fire area between Al- Badrousiya and Kasab.
