Algeria\u2019s Directorate General of Civil Protection announced on Tuesday that all wildfires previously burning across several regions of the country have now been fully extinguished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement published by the Civil Protection services, the authority confirmed that firefighting teams had successfully brought every active fire under control nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the announcement, a total of 1,968 fires have been recorded since July 8, 2026, coinciding with the beginning of a severe heatwave that affected many parts of Algeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fires broke out in different regions and required continuous intervention by Civil Protection units, supported by extensive human and logistical resources. Firefighting teams worked around the clock to contain the flames, protect populated areas, and limit damage to forests, agricultural land, and surrounding infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest announcement marks the end of a particularly demanding period for emergency services, which faced a sharp rise in fire incidents due to high temperatures, dry vegetation, and difficult weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Civil Protection teams carried out repeated operations in multiple provinces, often under challenging conditions, to prevent the spread of fires and reduce risks to local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The complete extinguishing of all active wildfires reflects the scale of the emergency response and the efforts made by firefighters, local authorities, and support teams across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the positive development, authorities are expected to remain vigilant as hot weather conditions may continue to increase the risk of new outbreaks. Citizens are also encouraged to respect prevention measures, avoid activities that could start fires, and immediately report any signs of smoke or flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Civil Protection services continue to monitor the national situation and maintain readiness to respond rapidly to any new emergency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
