Some 3.4 hectares (ha) palm trees were ravaged on Monday by flames at the “Afra” oasis in the province of Tata.
In a declaration to the MAP agency, the provincial director of agriculture, Assame Morchid, said that the fire destroyed 500 palm trees, noting that the elements of civil protection and the local authorities have succeeded in completely circumscribing the fires.
In this sense, the mobilization of the necessary logistical resources, including air trucks and fire-fighting equipment, has been made, in addition to setting up buffer lines to avoid the propagation of flames, she said.
