Lezha Tale fire, wind spreading flames, land interference difficult

The flames, favored by the strong wind, have spread rapidly along the coastline, burning a space estimated to span some 500 feet [500 m] to about half a mile [1 km]. Lezha's fire forces have intervened in the field, but they are facing difficulties in extinguishing the fire because of inadequate terrain.

The presence of marshes between the beach and the fireplace prevents the approach of fire vehicles, making intervention more complicated. Some tourist facilities and service are also located near the affected area. For this reason, fire crews are being put on alert next to them, to intervene immediately in case the flames endanger objects.
