The Syrian Civil Defense teams, with support from teams from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Qatar, and Iraq, announced control over most of the wildfires in the countryside of Latakia after ten days of continuous efforts amid an unprecedented heatwave.

The fires have consumed about 100 square kilometers of forests and agricultural land, while teams have moved to the cooling and monitoring phase in anticipation of any resurgence.

More than 150 teams, 300 vehicles, and 16 aircraft are participating in firefighting efforts.
