The Fire and Disaster Management Agency is planning to introduce guidelines for municipalities to issue fire warnings to restrict its use by residents when risk gets higher due to dry conditions and strong winds.

Yet in many cases, the authorities don’t issue them, since these weather conditions don’t meet their criteria.
