A fire has engulfed the village of Trevllazër in the Novoselë Administrative Unit, where flames are burning areas of olive groves in a zone known for its centuries-old olive trees. Firefighting forces are on the ground, but the response is facing difficulties because of strong winds.
Flames remain active in the olive-growing area
The fire remains active and has affected several olive trees, while the impacted area is reported to be burning. The situation is particularly problematic in the orchard area, where the spread of the flames is being aided by weather conditions.
The area where the fire broke out is known for the presence of centuries-old olive trees, making the damage potentially more serious for the local agricultural economy and for the village’s traditional landscape itself.
Firefighters on the ground, wind hindering containment
According to publicly released information, firefighting forces are working first to isolate the flames and then to fully extinguish the fire hotspots. However, strong winds remain the main obstacle on the ground.
This factor is favoring the spread of the fire through the olive groves and is making it more difficult to fully bring the situation under control, as the battle with the flames continues.
Trevllazër, an area hit by fires before as well
Fires in this village are not reported as an isolated episode. Trevllazër has also been affected by flames previously, mainly in areas of olive groves.
The recurrence of these events once again raises questions about preventive measures, the protection of areas with agricultural value, and the response before the damage reaches larger proportions.
Until the fire hotspots are fully extinguished, the risk of further spread remains present because of the wind.
The extent of the damage has not yet been made known.
