Algeria’s Civil Protection Extinguishes 107 of 138 Fires in 24 Hours

Algeria’s Civil Protection units have successfully extinguished 107 fires out of 138 recorded across several provinces during the past 24 hours, according to an official report released on Thursday by the General Directorate of Civil Protection.

The figures highlight the extensive mobilization of firefighting teams as Algeria continues to confront a wave of fires affecting different parts of the country.

Civil Protection personnel have been deployed across the affected provinces to contain the flames and prevent them from spreading toward residential areas, agricultural land and forest zones.

According to the official assessment, 138 fires were reported during the 24-hour period, with emergency teams succeeding in bringing 107 of them under control and extinguishing them.

Operations are continuing to deal with the remaining outbreaks, while firefighters maintain surveillance in areas where fires have already been extinguished in order to reduce the risk of flames restarting.

The large number of interventions reflects the significant pressure facing emergency services as they respond simultaneously to incidents across several regions.

Algerian authorities have maintained a high level of mobilization in recent days, with Civil Protection teams working alongside other state institutions and local authorities to protect citizens and limit material and environmental damage.

The latest figures also demonstrate the scale of the resources and coordination required to confront wildfires, particularly during periods of high temperatures and difficult weather conditions.

Protecting residents remains the main priority of emergency operations, with preventive measures being implemented whenever fires approach inhabited areas or important public infrastructure.

Civil Protection services continue to closely monitor the situation across the country and deploy personnel and equipment wherever necessary.

The successful extinguishing of 107 fires within 24 hours represents a major operational effort by Algeria’s emergency services, while work continues to fully control the remaining outbreaks and secure affected areas.
