According to local radio reports, intervention teams managed to extinguish the flames entirely. Field units are continuing monitoring and surveillance operations, remaining vigilant against any potential flare-ups or reignition.
Significant fires had broken out on Thursday evening in the forests of several municipalities, including Larhat, Sidi Ghilas, Gouraya, Muslimoun, and Hadjeret Ennous. Challenging weather conditions, particularly strong winds exceeding 60 km/h, contributed to the rapid spread of the fires.
