BEIRUT: A Lebanese Army helicopter is attempting to put out a fire Monday in an olive tree grove that had earlier trapped several civil defense personnel in the Zahrani district.
Civil Defense personnel arrived at the scene of the fire, which erupted in the fields of the southern villages of Hajje and Momariye, but were later trapped, prompting the residents to throw large amount of sand on the fire in an attempt to save the personnel and extinguish the flames.
