Wildfires on the island of Sazan continued to be active today (Monday) for the third day, while army interventions have made possible extinguishing a good part of them.
Hundreds of old pines were burned down as during last night the effectives fought with the flames but extinguishing the fire was impossible. From the images taken from Vlora, it can be seen that the island is surrounded by a fog of smoke and it is clear that fires are still active.
Sazan Island is home to several amphibian species, three of which are considered rare.
The island also has 15 species of reptiles, 13 of which are also rare.
Until the flames are extinguished and the waste ammunition is cleared, the island of Sazan will be closed to tourists.
