Canadair CL-415 planes are being used to extinguish the flames, and volunteers are also assisting. The cause of the fire is unknown, but it is believed that the current summer season will experience an increase in fires due to rising temperatures. Morocco's Center for Water and Forestry has identified an extreme risk of forest fires in several provinces and has allocated $22 million for prevention and control efforts.
