Forest Work Restrictions in Place Due to Drought Conditions

In response to ongoing drought conditions, officials have announced a ban on all forest work after 1 PM on Sunday, August 24, 2025, across all forest massifs. This precautionary measure aims to reduce the risk of wildfires in the region, which has been experiencing exceptionally dry weather.

The directive is part of broader efforts to manage environmental risks during periods of severe drought. As temperatures rise and humidity levels drop, the potential for fires increases significantly, prompting authorities to act swiftly to protect both the forest areas and surrounding communities.

This is not an isolated incident; similar restrictions have been implemented previously when drought conditions prompted fears of wildfires. As recently as earlier this summer, local governments across various regions submitted warnings about the impacts of reduced rainfall on forest management practices.

Officials are urging anyone involved in forest-related activities to comply with these new restrictions and to remain vigilant about fire safety. The risk of fire in forested areas continues to be a concern as long as dry conditions persist, with local authorities keeping an eye on weather patterns and the potential for future regulations.

As we approach the weekend, the community is reminded to stay informed about the evolving drought situation and any further restrictions that may be necessary to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
