For over two hours, the main city of Skopje has been enveloped in smoke, with the odor of burning materials more pronounced in commercial districts than in residential areas. Visibility across Skopje has been significantly reduced, according to reports from waterfront surveillance cameras. While residents are actively using social media platforms to seek information regarding the cause of the smoke and the status of potential fires, confirmed reports regarding the deployment of fire services remain scarce.
Authorities have not yet provided official details concerning the origin of the fire crews or the location of nearby emergency shelters. However, the Crisis Management center, Centaurt, has issued a statement confirming that firefighters were dispatched to Skopje in response to an active blaze on Mount Kikta. This incident represents the primary focus of emergency response efforts.
Despite the official notification, questions persist among the public regarding the overall scope of the incident. Local observers are seeking further clarification on the duration of the smoke and whether additional resources are being mobilized. The situation requires consistent updates to provide a complete picture of the impact across the metropolitan area.
Authorities are urging the public to rely only on verified channels for information concerning the fire and any potential hazards that may emerge.
