As an attractive natural area, Qamoua has an exotic panorama where Lebanese families go to entertain their kids and family. However, this weekend was different; after a group of people did their barbecue, the fired cool was got ridden in the dry grass field. Instantaneously, the fire was spread all over the camping place, several Cedar trees were burned in an around 15km2 or more of green area. This family, afraid of being repressed and punished by their act, escaped from Qamoua without helping or even calling the firefighters



Several other families, including some members of environmental scout tried to fight against this tremendous disaster; however, this was not enough. After the arrival of the Lebanese army to the fired placed, firefighters got into the place with the delay of 30 minutes and controlled the vanished wildfire area



Attitudes like this one can not be acceptable, several tens of ancient Cedar trees and other species of trees were totally destroyed. Qamoua is not anymore green and natural as it was. But the worst was the coward act the guilty family who escaped without presenting theirselves to the authorities
