Rainfall extinguishes fires/ Two fires are still active, 4 are under monitoring and 46 have been extinguished
The rain that began in the early hours of Tuesday has significantly affected the extinguishing of most of the fires in Albania. According to data from the Ministry of Defense, during the last 24 hours, 52 fires have been identified, of which 2 are still active, 4 are under monitoring and 46 have been extinguished.
The fires remain active in the western area of the Skërfica tunnel, Gjirokastër municipality, where the intervention does not allow the entry of troops, due to the steep terrain and very dense vegetation. The fire in the village of Spatharë, Skrapar municipality, where the fire has spread to a pasture area, also remains active. Forces from all operational structures are at the scene, working to bring the fire under control.
Under monitoring, in order to avoid reactivation, are the fire outbreaks in the Prespa National Park, in the village of Dishnicë, Korça municipality, in the village of Strelcë, Maliq municipality, and in the village of Veliq, Tropojë municipality.
52 firefighting vehicles and 722 operational forces were deployed in the firefighting operations. Also, 2 helicopters from the Armed Forces participated in yesterday's operations, operating in two areas.
Authorities call on citizens to exercise maximum caution, avoid any action that could cause a fire, and immediately report any suspicious fires to the relevant structures.
