Shafaq News/ On Friday, firefighters extinguished a blaze that broke out in farmland in Kirkuk, preserving more than 100,000 square meters of wheat close to harvest.
A Civil Defense Directorate official attributed the incident to an electrical short circuit, which caused the fire to spread quickly across adjacent fields.
“The rapid response limited the damage and secured a large portion of the wheat,” the official told Shafaq News, as authorities urged farmers to follow safety precautions during harvest season to prevent similar incidents.
