Firefighters in Morocco are battling a fierce blaze in Sefrou province for a fifth consecutive day.
Emerging on Saturday in the Taida forest, the inferno has already consumed nearly 120 hectares of woodland.
Strong winds and scorching temperatures continue to fuel the flames, severely complicating ongoing containment operations.
Authorities deployed three specialized Canadair firefighting aircraft alongside ground military personnel to suppress the expanding disaster.
Multiple civil protection agencies, local emergency forces, and forestry teams have joined the unified effort.
Officials confirmed that major active fire fronts are contained, though crews are still working to fully extinguish remaining spots.
No casualties have been reported, but severe damage has devastated the local forest ecosystem.
Extreme heat prompted authorities to issue a red alert for nine northern and eastern provinces.
The agency relies on advanced early warning systems to monitor heightened weather risks across vulnerable regions.
Morocco relies heavily on rapid aerial assets, ground teams, and surveillance drones to shield its forested terrain.
