• Following a large-scale wildfire that broke out in Quito yesterday afternoon, the Quito Emergency Operations Committee (COE) declared a state of emergency on Wednesday, the 25th, to enhance coordination efforts with other municipalities and government agencies.
• We urge Japanese residents and travelers to stay informed of relevant weather and fire-related updates. In the event of a fire, please stay as far away as possible from the affected area and avoid being downwind. Take necessary precautions and evacuate quickly if needed.
Once a fire starts, there is a risk of it spreading rapidly due to wind conditions. We encourage all Japanese residents and travelers to stay updated on weather conditions, avoid affected areas and downwind locations, and take prompt action to ensure safety when a fire occurs.
