In the Dibër district, in the place called "Lake of Flowers", part of the Lura National Park, work has continued to extinguish the fire that broke out in a forest area with pine trees and meadows.
Despite all the work done by the operational forces on the ground, the fire was not brought under control, as it had a large spread. The steep terrain and the wind helped the fire spread. As a result, an area of about 150 ha was burned. Today, 100 forces from the Armed Forces joined the forces.
The fire has been reactivated in the area called "Mali i Peladhisë", Zerqan administrative unit, Bulqizë municipality, developing towards "Maja e Vlashes". The fire has developed into two fires, aided by high temperatures and wind.
The operation to isolate the fire in the village of Arras, Arras administrative unit, Dibër municipality also continues. The forces are working to avoid danger to homes, as the wind is helping the flames spread towards the village of Shumbat, Slovo administrative unit.
In the Fier region, in the village of Drenova, the administrative unit of Qendër Dukas, the municipality of Mallakastër, there was a reactivation of the fire that had broken out in an area of bushes and thorns.

The fires were mainly recorded in areas with bushes and vegetation, where as a result more than 292 hectares of land, over 1000 plum, cherry and olive trees were burned. 36 firefighting vehicles and 394 operational forces were engaged in the fire extinguishing operations.
