The Ministry of the Environment has issued a caution regarding a significant increase in the risk of fires in Lebanon in the coming days, especially in the regions of West Bekaa, Rachaya, and Akkar.
The ministry urges citizens to exercise extreme caution and avoid any activities that could start a fire near vegetation, as temperatures are expected to rise significantly.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the ministry also called on municipalities, environmental protection committees, regional fire surveillance teams, and civil organizations to monitor potential dangers closely. It emphasized the importance of early detection to ensure rapid intervention by civil defense teams and first responders.
