The Secretariat for Climate Risk Management, Disasters and Civil Defense of the Córdoba province issued an alert for extreme risk of forest fires due to rising temperatures this Friday. According to the official spokesperson of the body, Roberto Schreiner, he asked the population to take precautions and reminded that “it is forbidden to light a fire anywhere in the territory of the Province of Córdoba, as well as to carry out any activity that could generate a forest fire.” The government of Córdoba reminds the community that to report fires, smoke columns, and other signs of fire, the contact number is 0-800-888-38346. Likewise, due to the heatwave, Schreiner indicated that extreme temperatures are expected for the next few hours, so he advised frequent hydration, not to perform intense physical activity, and to avoid sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
