The Department of Forests appeals to the public for cooperation and avoidance of actions and activities that may cause fire, due to the new heat conditions.
In a statement, the Forest Department said that because a number of fires had already been caused by cigarette butts and sparks or machine sparks, the public must be especially careful and avoid using fire in their various activities, as well as throwing cigarette butts on the ground.
At the same time, he emphasizes that the burning of grass, branches and garbage is prohibited, while the use in the countryside of tools or agricultural machinery that produce sparks or flame, such as emery, oxygen welding and welding, should be avoided.
Particular attention should also be paid to precautionary measures to prevent fire from evaporating various generators or water pumps in the open.
Finally, the Forest Department appeals to anyone who notices smoke or fire, in or near the forest, please immediately inform the nearest Forest Station or call 1407 (Forest Department) or 112 (Fire Department).
