The fires on the island of Sazan and Mirdita were neutralized after the intervention from the ground and air.
122 members of the Armed Forces, 9 vehicles and two ships were engaged in the operation launched three days ago to extinguish the flames.
The intervention from the air started this morning. The Canadair CL 415 aircraft, supported by Greece, also joined the ground forces within the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism.
The situation on the island of Sazan is under control, while work continues to totally avoid the possibility of re-ignition of the flames due to the dense vegetation.
Meanwhile, 54 members of the Armed Forces joined the fire brigade in the action to extinguish the fire in the administrative unit Orosh of Mirdita. The operation made it possible to avoid the spread of flames near the apartments.
The Ministry of Defense expresses its gratitude for the work of all engaged teams and calls on citizens, tourists who this season are expected to be numerous to be careful, as this summer is forecast to be hot and the risk of fires remains evident.
For four days a cloud has been rising over the largest island of Albania, while dozens of centuries-old pines have been burned. An obvious danger on the island were also the remaining ammunition which could explode from the heat.
Recall that the island of Sazan is home to 16 rare species, three of them amphibians and 13 reptiles.
