The firefighting units have been fighting the flames for hours, which continue to spread at high speed in the area of the Shengjin-Velipoja highway and the Rana Hedhun road.
Dozens of fire engines are on the ground, but the flames have progressed rapidly due to the wind and vegetation in the area, while the evacuation of residents continues.
Although work is being done from the ground and the air, the situation remains critical as the fire is approaching the businesses and homes.
While there is a call for evacuation, firefighters and police are on the ground to help residents leave.
So far in Shengjin, there have been reports of an apartment, a “beach bar” and several umbrellas and sunbeds on the beach burned.
Tourists and residents have abandoned the coast and left everything behind to escape the flames.
The Ministry of Defense is reported to have sent two planes and a helicopter to extinguish the fire, as the situation is still out of control.
