Update:
According to Iranian media, a large fire broke out this afternoon, Tuesday (July 30), in the heights of Drak in Shiraz, which is still ongoing.

IRNA news agency reported that the flames have engulfed the pastures of the Drak heights in the northwest of Shiraz and the mountains near the Gate of the Quran, and "the tongues of this fire are clearly visible from various points in the city."

The head of the Shiraz Fire Department stated: "50 firefighters along with two specialized mountain teams are working to control the fire."

Hadi Eidi-Pour told Mehr News Agency: "Due to the difficult terrain of the mountainous area, the wind, and the presence of dry vegetation that causes the fire to spread and flare up, the firefighting operations are facing difficulties."

The cause of this fire has not yet been announced.
