Forest fires erupt in western Tunisia
The article addresses the efforts of Tunisian firefighters in controlling a major fire in the forests of Mount Lnqaa, northwest Tunisia. The fire originated in the Sidi Abid area in Jendouba Governorate and spread to the Kreb district in Siliana Governorate. The Tunisian army is using two military helicopters to assist in extinguishing the flames, which are targeting pine, Lebanese cedar, and dense vegetation, with the goal of encircling the fire before it reaches residential areas. The fires have been attributed to weather fluctuations and high temperatures that reached up to 50 degrees Celsius, resulting in the destruction of over 12,000 hectares of forest, particularly in July of the past year.
