Al-Awaran calls farmers to speed up harvests to reduce fire risk
The Director of the Jordanian Farmers Union, Mahmoud Al-Auran, called on farmers to speed up the harvesting of their field crops to prevent the risk of fires, especially as the crops ripen, dry out, and temperatures are expected to rise. He also noted that the increasing number of visitors to parks and outdoor areas raises the risk of cigarette butts being discarded or fires ignited. Additionally, he urged the government to activate a preventive plan that includes the distribution of mobile firefighting units. He pointed out that the current harvest season is expected to yield more than 100,000 tons, but the lack of machinery is hindering the harvesting process, which calls for support to farmers. He also suggested installing smoke detectors in agricultural areas to monitor and prevent the outbreak of fires.
