A Month of Battle With Fires in Albania

Tirana's Fire Department Director seeks from residents of areas where there is potential for the creation of dangerous hearths to pay attention to what are called intentional arson.

The citizens try to open new agricultural lands and clean up their lands and think of destroying the agricultural waste of shrubs, or weeds through fire. In these two months, in July and August, this is unacceptable and should never be used because the fire in these temeperatures comes out of control”, says Shkelj Shkj.

In the coming days, Tirana firemen, in co-operation with the Forest Directorate and the Parking and Rechry Agency, will develop an action for opening several corridors near the fires, which will facilitate and speed the fires.

The fire will be much smaller than it was this year. The Directorate of Forests and the Parks and Recretion, even these days we've discussed, will be the first to seek these corridors, which will soon be realised and will make our work and service easier”, says prettyyj.

But when can all the emergency fire situation in Tirana be called finished?

We, with our predictions, think that throughout August and the first 10 days of September will be with such events. The key is that we are on alert and have the strength and equipment to deal with these situations. Only extraordinary situations, or very broken terrain, such as the Dering Mountain now and the Dajti area, are unaffordable to our service”, adds pretty much.
