The Department of Forestry informs the public about the start of the National Guard's participation in the forest surveillance program using drones.
In the framework of close cooperation between the Department of Forests and the National Guard in the field of forest fire prevention, preparedness and suppression, aerial drone patrols will be carried out in all forest areas and the countryside throughout Cyprus.
The patrols will aim to detect an outbreak of smoke or fire, but primarily to monitor suspicious movements and identify perpetrators who set deliberate fires.
