Brief Description:
After nearly three months of drought, wildfires broke out on March 11, 2005 , in the Central mountain range of the Dominican Republic, 75 miles north of Santo Domingo. The fires consumed approximately 100,000 hectares throughout the country and forced the evacuation of approximately 70 people from the most affected areas. In response, OFDA provided $50,000 through USAID/Dominican Republic to support local firefighting efforts.
