HIBAPRESS
The area of Oulad Ahmed in the city of Rahma witnessed, this Saturday afternoon, a fire that broke out in a harvested agricultural land, causing a state of alert among the local authorities, security services, and civil protection elements.
Available data indicated that the fire broke out amidst the remains of the agricultural crop before the civil protection elements intervened quickly and effectively to contain and extinguish it, which prevented its spread to significant quantities of hay that were piled up near the fire site.
The rapid intervention also contributed to protecting neighboring agricultural lands where harvesting operations are still ongoing, as the rapid spread of the fire could have caused greater losses given the nature of the dry vegetation during this time of year. The incident mobilized various concerned authorities who moved to the scene to monitor the firefighting operations and secure the fire's perimeter, while the causes of the fire remain unknown at this time.
