21 fires have been registered in the last 24 hours, in the territory of the country, of which 18 have been extinguished thanks to the continuous efforts of hundreds of operational forces, who are working on the ground in these high temperatures. According to data from the National Operational Center of Civil Emergencies, 3 fires are still active.
The military personnel of the Armed Forces and the Fire Forces, together with those of the Forestry Service, are working for the complete isolation of the hearth in the village of Pregja - Lure, in Dibër. The work has continued to extinguish the fire that occurred in the village of Shënmëri of the municipality of Mirditë, as well as in the fire hearth between the villages of Goranxi and Derviçan, in Lower Dropull . Due to the temperatures, the difficult terrain and the strong wind, the fire yesterday in this area reached large proportions, worsening the situation in the villages of Dhuvjan, Goranxi and Derviçan.
The Armed Forces are always ready to help put out fires, whenever their intervention is required.
We ask the residents to cooperate with the local authorities, by reporting fires in time, to avoid spreading to wider areas!
