As can be seen from the footage provided by Top Channel’s Klodian Zhivani, the flames engulfed the market area, and unfortunately favored by the wind, they have also lit a house near it.
So far no injuries have been reported, while the residents were the first to help each other to evacuate. Meanwhile, firefighters are at the scene and are working to bring the flames under control.
All the structures of the Shkodra Municipality are committed to putting out the fire on Qafë Hardhi Street.
