With wildfires continuing to spread across the forests of Syria’s coastal region, the Syrian Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management has announced the establishment of a joint field operations room. The initiative, formed in cooperation with several active Syrian organizations, aims to provide logistical and on-ground support to firefighting efforts in northern Latakia countryside.

Syrian Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management, Raed Al-Saleh, stated in a post on the “X” platform that the operations room has begun its tasks, which include securing water transport vehicles to assist firefighting teams, organizing volunteer units trained in wildfire suppression, and providing heavy machinery to carve out firebreaks and help contain the blaze.
The minister expressed his appreciation to the participating organizations and all individuals offering support and assistance during these difficult circumstances.
Firefighting crews have now been battling the blazes for four consecutive days, despite major challenges including harsh weather conditions, strong winds, and the presence of war remnants that pose serious risks to their safety.
