A significant fire broke out in the southern region of Albania, impacting residential areas in the village of Raban. Fifteen families were evacuated from the threatened zone, taking with them their crops and livestock. Firefighters, supported by air and water resources, successfully brought the blaze under control.
The fire was raging in the Malacerta area, and relevant services are currently working to prevent the spread of the flames into inhabited areas. Simultaneously, efforts are underway to combat another fire in the mountainous region south of Gjirokastra, which is suspected to have been caused by a lightning strike. The intensity of the fires, exacerbated by high temperatures, is causing them to spread across the region.
The extreme heat is also impacting other areas, as red alerts have been issued in Italy due to high temperatures that are expected to reach elevated levels in certain locations. The combined incidents highlight the ongoing challenges posed by severe weather conditions across the Balkans. Authorities are coordinating resources to manage the multiple emergency situations, focusing on containment and ensuring the safety of residents in the southern parts of the country.
