The civil defense forces in the capital, Aden, this afternoon, Saturday, were able to extinguish a fire that broke out in the Al-Haswah Nature Reserve in the Buraiqa District.

Civil Defense forces rushed to the site following a report of a fire in the trees adjacent to the main street of the reserve, where they were able to control and extinguish it without recording any losses or knowing its causes.

The “Media Office of the Buraiqa District” called on fellow visitors to the reserve and drivers of vehicles passing by it, to be careful and not to throw lit cigarette butts or any flammable materials inside the reserve or near the trees adjacent to the main line so as not to be a cause of a disaster (God forbid, especially With the monsoon winds these days) in the nature reserve of great importance.
