In addition to 340 Armed Forces troops, four Armed Forces firefighting vehicles, Air Force helicopters that have conducted six operations, and one Air Tractor aircraft, a total of 881 operational people and 75 firefighting vehicles have been deployed to manage the situation.
According to Minister Nufi, 380 members of the armed forces, two helicopters, and one Air Tractor aircraft are anticipated to be deployed today.
The regions of Tirana, Dibër, Lezhë, Shkodër, Durrës, Fier, and Vlorë are home to the majority of the active fires.
While there is no longer a risk to residences in Qinam, Zall-Herr, operations are ongoing in Dajti without endangering populated areas. There is no danger to populated areas from the ongoing fires in Vajkal, Lundre-Madhesh, and Mallunxë–Lis in Dibër.
In Lezhë, there are still fires in Gallatë and the Kalivaç–Zimaj–Kashnjet region, although there is no longer a threat to residential areas.
Fier and Himarë have reported the most serious situation in the last 24 hours. While efforts to fully put out the fire are still underway, the ground and air forces’ participation in the Drizë–Vadhizë–Peshtan–Levan area has prevented the risk to residences.
About 300 operational personnel and 171 members of the armed forces were stationed in Himarë’s “1 Maji” neighborhood. Three of the six houses that were destroyed by fire were occupied, and thirty-six people were evacuated from the neighborhood. The fire’s intensity has dropped, there is no longer a risk to residences, and efforts to put it out completely are still ongoing.
In close collaboration with prefectures, municipalities, and Civil Protection system organizations, the National Civil Protection Agency is constantly keeping an eye on the situation across the nation.
Minister Nufi stressed that operational capabilities are still in the field and ready to step in when needed, with the protection of people’s lives, homes, and property coming first.
