The General Directorate of Civil Defense emphasized the importance of lighting fires only in designated areas, and avoiding lighting them in parks, vegetation areas, or dry trees and grass, to protect lives and property.

The Directorate explained that fires resulting from unsafe use of fire contribute to the destruction of vegetation, damage to wildlife, and depletion of natural resources.

It called for adherence to safety guidelines and instructions published through various media and social media platforms, and to contact numbers (911) in the regions of Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, and (998) in the rest of the Kingdom's regions, to request assistance in emergencies.
