The fire on Sazan Island continues burning the pine forest.
Despite the intervention of the Armed Forces, it is impossible to turn off, while air intervention is required.
As a result of the reactivation of the fire in the southern area of the island of Sazan, since noon on Sunday, 61 members of the Navy and Land Forces, but also employees of the Agency of Protected Areas and the fire brigade of Vlora are engaged in extinguishing of flames on the island.
The terrain and dense vegetation have made it extremely difficult for troops to intervene, while as a former military unit, unexploded ordnance also poses a threat.
The troops on the ground continue their efforts during the afternoon hours, while measures have been taken to replace and increase them.
President Ilir Meta reacted regarding the situation of the spread of fires in the country.
“I am closely following the situation of the spread of fires in the area of Vlora, especially in Sazan Island.
In order to prevent the spread of fires, so as not to repeat the situation as last summer, I ask for the full commitment of local and central structures to localize and extinguish them in the shortest possible time.
Evaluating the forecasts of the Institute of Geosciences for a hot summer, with very high temperatures, I call for the readiness of the structures of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities throughout Albania, for civil protection, especially for the engagement of air fleet, for air intervention to extinguish fires in areas where terrestrial road intervention is impossible, such as the case of Sazan Island.
At the same time, it encourages the local government structures to increase the number of observers to inform in time and to keep the operational structures on standby, for immediate intervention in dealing with fire situations during the summer months.
I call on all citizens to contribute with prompt information throughout the country for any case of fire, so that the responsible structures are engaged in a timely manner to isolate and extinguish them.he said.
