Moroccan firefighters are battling wildfires for a fourth straight day in the Houara Forest near Tangier, as high temperatures and strong winds complicate efforts to contain the flames.
The fires, which began Monday, have burned 210 acres (85 hectares) so far, according to Osman El-Azzaoui, the regional director of the National Agency of Water and Forests. He said three Canadair firefighting aircraft are involved in operations, but conditions are making progress difficult.
Troops from the army, Royal Gendarmerie, Civil Protection, and Auxiliary Forces have joined the response.
In anticipation of summer fire risks, Morocco allocated $17 million earlier this month to boost forest fire readiness. Despite recent flare-ups, officials say wildfires have dropped sharply this year—down 82% compared to 2023, with 382 fires recorded.
