These operations covered the full spectrum of Civil Protection activities, including responses to traffic accidents, domestic incidents, medical evacuations, firefighting, and general safety operations.

These accidents resulted in five fatalities at the scene and injuries to 223 others, with varying degrees of severity; victims received on-site care and were subsequently transported by our teams to local hospitals.

Notably, Civil Protection units in Mascara Province intervened to extinguish a fire that broke out in a fourth-floor apartment of a seven-story building (ground floor plus six upper floors) in the “400-Housing Unit” district of Mohammadia (municipality and district). The fire caused first-degree burns to one person and respiratory distress to five others; the victims received on-site care and were transported to the local hospital. The intervention successfully extinguished the fire and prevented it from spreading to adjacent areas.
