QISRG commander affirms Qatar's continued support for Syrian people

QNA Damascus Commander of the Qatari International Search and Rescue Group (QISRG) Major Khalid Al Humaidi has affirmed that the participation of the QISRG in extinguishing the forest fires in Latakia Governorate in the sisterly Syrian Arab Republic was an implementation of the directives of His Highness the Amir of the State of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani as an expression of the State of Qatar's continued support for the brotherly Syrian people. In remarks to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Al Humaidi noted that the Qatari team consisted of 130 specialised rescuers equipped with the latest firefighting equipment and helicopters. The team carried out ground and airfield operations in direct coordination with the Syrian Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management and Latakia Governorate, and with continuous monitoring from the Embassy of the State of Qatar in Damascus. He pointed out that the operations included the use of aerial firefighting helicopter and thermal drones for early detection of fire outbreaks, in addition to coordination with the central operations room to monitor the wildfires' developments as they unfolded. This contributed to enhancing the speed of response and controlling the fire under challenging field conditions, including rugged terrain and volatile winds. For his part, Syrian Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management Raed Al Saleh announced the end of fire suppression operations in all areas of the fire after 12 days of continuous field work. He extended his thanks and appreciation to the State of Qatar for its rapid and effective support as well as commended the Qatari teams for standing by their Syrian counterparts during this ordeal. page 4
