Al-Khalaf pointed out that the region is going through a phase that requires great awareness and cooperation from residents, calling on everyone to act responsibly and immediately report any fire or danger that may threaten agricultural lands, in order to avoid any losses to crops.

He made clear that the committee is working to coordinate with relevant authorities and secure the necessary equipment and resources for rapid intervention, in addition to conducting awareness campaigns for residents and farmers on fire prevention methods and how to deal with emergencies.

He also emphasized the important role of communes and health and service committees in monitoring the conditions of villages and agricultural lands, and contributing to raising awareness among residents to preserve agricultural resources and ensure the success of the current agricultural season.

The co-chair of the Tell Tamer City Council stressed that protecting agricultural crops is a collective responsibility that falls on everyone, calling on residents and farmers to cooperate with emergency teams and adhere to preventive guidelines to safeguard the livelihoods of residents and the source of income for hundreds of families in the region.
