Algeria reports 115 fires nationwide
In one day, Algeria experienced 115 fires across 21 provinces, most of them in forests, shrubs, and agricultural lands, resulting in significant material losses. The high temperatures, which surpassed 49°C due to the heatwave dome, contributed to the spread of the fires, as the hot and dry weather conditions facilitated the rapid advancement of the flames. Civil protection teams, the national army, civil associations, and residents of the affected areas were mobilized to extinguish the fires and prevent them from spreading to populated areas. This effort comes amid expectations that temperatures will drop starting next Saturday, which is expected to help contain the situation.
