The fire in the village of Drenije in Patos spread further overnight, pushing deeper into the forest massif and making intervention on the ground more difficult. According to official information from the area, the flames expanded toward Gjinoqare and Ngracie, while the structures engaged are trying to halt the fire’s advance.
The flames expanded during the night hours
The fire is reported to have intensified overnight, spreading deeper into the forested area. This development has increased pressure on the ground operation at a time when full control of the blaze has still not been achieved.
The official version speaks of an ongoing operation to isolate the fire, but the spread of the flames shows that the situation remains unstable and far from over.
68 personnel engaged from firefighters, the municipality and the army
Deployed on the ground are 3 fire engines, 1 water tanker, 20 Fire Protection and Rescue Service personnel, 15 municipal personnel and 30 troops from the Southern Infantry Regiment from the Poshnje unit.
The involvement of the army and local structures shows the scale of the intervention, while the main burden remains containing the spread of the flames in a wide area.
Difficult terrain is complicating the intervention
According to information from the ground, the operation is unfolding under difficult conditions. The wide perimeter of the fire, problematic terrain and the intensity of the blaze are making containment and full extinguishing more complicated.
These are the main obstacles keeping the emergency active, while the focus remains on limiting the flames to prevent further spread.
The priority remains full isolation of the fire
The forces engaged are continuing their work with the aim of stopping the spread and fully isolating the fire. So far, no further information has been made public about any change in the situation in favor of the operation.
For the moment, the picture in Drenije remains that of an active fire, with overnight spread and an intervention facing serious limitations on the ground.
The fire in Drenije, Patos, remains an active hotspot in Fier County, with flames that have pushed deeper into the forest massif and with the operation continuing under difficult conditions.
