Fez, Morocco – A sudden fire broke out this Wednesday evening in agricultural lands on Ras El Ma road, in the Bensouda area on the outskirts of Fez. This fire caused concern among the local population, especially due to the rapid spread of flames through the crops.
According to local sources, citizens rushed to the scene immediately upon noticing the flames and spontaneously initiated vigorous efforts to extinguish the fire using rudimentary means. Circulated video clips and sources from the scene showed a great sense of solidarity among the local residents who worked diligently to control the fire and prevent it from extending to wider areas.
The same sources expressed their dismay and astonishment at the “complete absence of Civil Protection elements,” who did not intervene to extinguish the fire. This forced citizens to assume full responsibility in confronting the disaster.
After arduous efforts lasting for hours, the citizens, thanks to their perseverance and sacrifices, managed to control and fully extinguish the fire before it caused extensive damage. Local sources extended “high praise” and “expressions of gratitude and appreciation” to all citizens who contributed to this heroic operation, emphasizing that “Thank God… citizens succeeded in extinguishing the fire in the complete absence of Civil Protection.”
This incident raises questions about the readiness of emergency response teams to deal with such incidents in rural and semi-urban areas, and highlights the important role citizens can play in confronting natural disasters in the absence of immediate intervention from relevant authorities.
