Fires near Ndroq and Lalzi Bay

It is still unknown what caused the fire, and the residents say that the firefighters and the police have not arrived to don anything yet, although the fire broke up several hours ago.

The fire seems big and that could bring considerable damages. The area around it is mountainous and it will be difficult for the firefighters to put it out.

Another massive fire broke up in Shen Pjeter village, near the Gjiri i Lalzit, where the situation seems very bad.

According to recent information, the fire has burned a vast area of pines that seem to advance.

The residents say that despite the appeals for help, no one has showed interest to keep the fire under control.

The army was finally able to put out the fire in Priska only after six days.

Hundreds of hectares of forests and pastures were burning in the southern parts of the country until a few days ago. Experts at the Forest Police declared that there were 30 active fires, for which they engaged all civil emergency forces.

The Forest Police Inspector, Genci Hoxhaj, underlined that all fires have been caused by people, intentionally and accidentally, causing very big damages.

Putting out fires in some areas takes quite a few days and often requires interventions from the air, which has been very difficult. Forest experts say that putting out fires also takes a considerable financial cost.

They say that an important role for the protection against fires should be played by the local administration and the head of communes, who cannot stay indifferent each time that there is a fire in their areas.
