Baquba Fires renewed in the orchards of Al-Wajihiya district, northeast of Baquba, the center of Diyala governorate.
Hatem Al-Tamimi, director of the district, told the correspondent of the National Iraqi News Agency (NINA): “The fires that broke out yesterday were renewed today because they were not extinguished properly.”
He added, “The civil defense teams are trying to control the fire that has destroyed more than 75 dunums of orchards.”
The orchards of Diyala are exposed from time to time to fires caused by accidental accidents as a result of negligence or in an attempt to bulldoze them and turn them into residential lands, the last of which were fires that broke out yesterday in large areas of orchards in the Wajihiya district.
