All Mediterranean Burning From Greece to Portugal

As the Index.hr estimates, it is burning the entire Mediterranean, which proves to be a broader problem, which experts still bring about climate change, respectively, with heat waves hitting Europe.

Portugal

The season of major European fires this year has started in this EU member state to the west of the continent.

Fires in Portugal have been under way since June, causing at least 60 deaths.

Portuguese scientists say that they have never seen such rapid spread of fire.

Spain

Even in this European country, the firefight has been going on for weeks. Towards the end of June, a large mountain fire in the south of the country forced the evacuation of thousands of people from their homes but also tourist camps. Many airplanes, helicopters, and dozens of fire vehicles were busy to extinguish the fire.

After several days of war with the fire storm, which caused the powerful wind, the fire was extinguished. But these days again, a new fire broke out in the southwest of the Spanish region of Badayiz, which has destroyed 500 hectares of mountains.

The intense heat with temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit [40 ° C], sometimes exceeding 50 degrees, is alleged to cause such fires.

France

These days in France have destroyed 800 acres [800 ha] of mountain fire. It is believed that the cause of the fire is an ill - extinguished cigarette.

The fire near the University city of Aiks Province in southern France has been extinguished by 800 firefighters, who had 210 vehicles available for fire extinguishing.

A fire has also broke out near the Nica resort, but the fire is said to have been put under control even though it has not completely died out.

Italy

The huge drought Italy has hit has caused a large number of fires, as a result of heat waves that have hit the country.

Fires broke out from Tuscana to Sicily.

In the province of Campania alone, seven fires have been recorded, while 18 fires have been recorded in Lacio around Rome.

Hundreds of firefighters and civil defenders are on the ground, while fires around Rome are killing off even ten helicopters, Kosovo Press broadcasts.

The difficult situation is also around Naples, especially in the space around the Vesuvius volcano, which is surrounded by smoke from fires and from distance it seems to be erupting.

Police suspect the fire has been set up and suspected in local mafia.

Montenegro

Index.hr writes that yesterday about a hundred tourists were evacuated in the Box of R. Kotor because of the fire, which is approaching settlements on the coast and because of powerful winds, heat and drought.

Montenegro has called for international help to put fires under control.

The most difficult situation in Montenegro is in the municipality of Tivat, in Lushtica, where people fleeing the fire storm have been thrown into the water.

Albania

More than 15 fires have been registered in this state last days.

There are currently about 300 firefighters and soldiers on the ground, who are fighting fire and they are being assisted by helicopters.

Fires are currently under control, but still further endanger mountains.

As the main cause of fires, Albanian media cite drought and major heat. Fireing in many cases is difficult by inappropriate terrain.

Greece

Fires in Greece are registered on the island of Zakinto, where hundreds of hectares of mountains have been burned.

There was fire in Corinth, and several firefighters were injured in its extinction.

Greece, due to the record heat, has decided to close several familiar archaeological points, including the Athens Acropolis, which is closed between 13 and 17.

Croatia and Bosnia are also facing fires. The most dramatic situation in Croatia was around Split, where several houses have been damaged, until more than 80 people, mainly firefighters, have been injured.
