Interior Minister Raya al-Hassan headed Monday to the Chouf town of Mechref, to follow up on the repercussions of the massive fire that erupted there during the night.
Al-Hassan noted that in case complications prevented extinguishing the fire, they will ask Cyprus for help through sending planes to put out the flames.
Civil defense teams, Lebanese army helicopters and Beirut firefighter teams, as well as other concerned parties have been working on extinguishing the fire, which came near a number of houses in the town.
