Prime Minister Ghrib was received by the Minister of Interior, Local Authorities, and Transportation, Said Saioud, along with the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development, and Fisheries, the Commander of the National Gendarmerie, the Director-General of Civil Protection, the Governor of Tipaza Province, and local civil and military authorities.

The delegation subsequently traveled to the highlands of the Muslimoun municipality to inspect the extent of the fires and assess the suppression efforts underway.
Civil Protection Services have indicated that shifting wind patterns contributed to the spread of the fires towards residential areas. As a result, 55 families were evacuated to ensure their safety.

The government has pledged to ensure the affected families get the support they need to recover from this disaster.
