Morocco is responding to a wave blaze in its northern forests. This is all happening amid a national heatwave which further complicates firefighters’ job.<\/p>\n
Particularly in Larach region, wildfires threatened inhabited areas. The highway was closed as firefighters tried to extinguish them.<\/p>\n
Morocco also mobilized its military to put out the flames, which was being fueled by dry hot winds from the east.<\/p>\n
The wildfires have destroyed farms and cattle, as well as hives within the agricultural regions of Ouazzane and Taza.<\/p>\n
Morocco’s fire-fighting capabilities were boosted last month by the receipt of three new Canadair water bombarders. This brings total fire extinguishing aircrafts in Morocco to 8.<\/p>\n
