On October 14, the Homs Agriculture Directorate started building a network of fire trails in forested areas to enable firefighting trucks to reach these areas easily to put out fires quickly .
Head of the Tal Kalakh Forests Department Elias Bitar said that the plan includes building new fire trails and rebuilding previous ones in areas that witnessed fires during the past days.
