As a result of these fires, dry grass and shrubs have burned. Rescuers are working around the clock to mitigate the consequences of human negligence.
Rescue service employees emphasize that setting fire to dry vegetation is not just about burned grass. It also destroys habitats for animals, pollutes the air, and poses a real threat to the lives and health of people.
