For the fifth consecutive day, firefighting teams in Syria continue to combat the fires raging in the northern Latakia countryside, amidst difficult field and climatic conditions, while some progress has been made in controlling a number of fire outbreaks. The Director of Civil Defense in the Syrian coast, Abdul Kafi Kayal, said in a statement to the "SANA" agency that the efforts made resulted in relative progress in controlling some fire sites, pointing to the continuation of work to contain the fires that threaten new green areas. According to Kayal, the efforts are focused on three main areas currently exposed to fires, namely Ras al-Bassit, Qastal Ma'af, and Rabia, with an intensive effort to stop the spread of fires towards the Kessab area, which includes the largest forest reserve in Syria.
