Locals have described the fires as “terrifying,” emphasizing the urgency of the situation. The councillor believes a proactive, dedicated team is essential to protect communities and natural landscapes. The call for a taskforce highlights concerns about preparedness and the need for a more robust response system to prevent similar incidents and mitigate their impact.
