In this situation, all citizens are called upon to show maximum responsibility, the Ministry of Defense emphasizes.

"Do not light fires in open spaces, do not burn garbage and avoid any action that could cause a fire. Even the slightest carelessness can have serious consequences for the environment, property and people's lives."

In case of fire, notify the fire services immediately. Only with everyone's care and cooperation can we prevent the spread of fires and protect nature and our communities."
