High temperatures, increasing fire outbreaks - AKMC: Situation under monitoring,

With the peak of the summer season and rising temperatures in many areas of the country, the risk of fires in open spaces has increased significantly.

The National Civil Protection Agency and the Ministry of Defense report that 9 fires have been reported, but the situation is currently under control, with no consequences for people or animals.

In some cases, the fires have involved areas of grass and bushes, causing the burning of about 0.5 hectares of land. Material damage has also been reported in two homes, one in Kavaja and the other in Shëngjin.

Civil Protection operational forces have been involved in firefighting operations with the support of 64 firefighting vehicles.

Despite controlling the situation, authorities warn that the risk remains high in the regions of Lezhë, Durrës, Tirana and Fier, according to the forecasts of the Institute of Geosciences, while in other regions it is assessed as "moderate".

Given that temperatures are expected to remain high, Civil Protection remains on constant alert for any emergency.

Citizens are urged to exercise extra caution during these hot days and to avoid any actions that could cause arson. Any suspicious cases should be reported immediately to the relevant authorities.
