The Lebanese Civil Defense personnel, in collaboration with teams from various centers, carried out missions to extinguish several fires that broke out in scattered areas.
In the Bekaa region, personnel extinguished fires that erupted in the forests of Mekseh, Al-Merijat, Jdeida, and Qab Aleyas. During firefighting operations in Mekseh, personnel rescued three women and transported them to a safe location after their home was filled with dense smoke due to the fire.
Additionally, personnel managed to extinguish a fire on Jabal Jeb Jneen – Western Bekaa District, as well as fires in forested areas along the Deir al-Mukhalis–Bserri road, and in the farms of Ad-Dahr and Az-Za’rouriyeh – Chouf District.
Throughout all operations, personnel worked to contain the flames, gain control over the fires, and prevent their spread to adjacent areas, while continuing to monitor the sites to prevent any re-ignition.
