Ten active fires have been reported around Georgia on December 24, including the village of Ormotsi , mostly on the lower layers of forests.
About 80 firefighters were trying to extinguish fire at the village of Organchai, near the Georgian-Armenian border, while 150 firefighters tried to put out fire in the villages of Ukangori, Kvemo Kartli village.
The Emergency Management Service has called upon shepherds and hunters to exercise maximum caution to prevent fires, as “due to warm weather the lower layers of woods are dry and easily catch fire”.
