A fire in the Bardhaj hills in Shkodra has remained active for around 24 hours, keeping a forested area under pressure as the flames continue to spread and are proving difficult to contain. The situation is described as problematic, while intervention on the ground is continuing with firefighting and military forces.
Flames continue in the forested area
Images from the area show that the fire remains active in the Bardhaj hills, where the flames have spread across forested surfaces.
The spread of the fire appears to be favored by the terrain, making it more difficult to fully isolate the active hotspots.
The terrain is complicating the response
According to information reported from the scene, the situation remains problematic because of conditions that are helping the flames advance.
This means that bringing the fire under control does not depend only on the number of forces on the ground, but also on the real possibility of reaching the hardest-hit areas.
Dozens of forces in the operation
Dozens of army and fire service forces have been deployed on the ground and are working to bring the situation under control and isolate the active hotspots.
So far, according to the official version, the flames do not pose a risk to residents in the area.
However, the fact that the fire has continued for nearly a day shows that the situation remains sensitive and that full extinguishment has not yet been achieved.
The focus remains on stopping the spread across the forested terrain of Bardhaj, where the fire continues to resist intervention.
