Fires in the Krastë and Halil areas of Krujë remain active, while footage published from the ground shows several hotspots still burning. In a public reaction, the head of the Democratic Party in Durrës, Aulon Kalaja, called for more helicopters to intervene, raising questions about response capacity on the ground.
Footage from the ground shows active hotspots
In the footage published by Kalaja from the Krastë and Halil area, several active fire hotspots can be seen, while a helicopter operates from the air to help extinguish the flames.
The situation shown in the video suggests that the fire has not been fully contained, while the risk of spreading to other areas remains concerning.
Call for more aerial resources
Kalaja is calling for increased aerial intervention, arguing that greater helicopter engagement would make it more possible to contain the flames and stop their advance.
His request comes at a time when only one aircraft can be seen operating on the ground, once again raising debate over the speed and scale of the institutional response in such cases.
Political accusations and questions over possible arson
In his public reaction, Kalaja wrote: “Krasta and Halili under the power of the flames. Who is burning the Krujë area?! Fires every day in our area…”
The statement raises suspicions over the repeated fires in this area, but at this stage there is no other publicly confirmed information on the causes or possible perpetrators.
The fire in Krastë and Halil remains another episode testing emergency response on the ground, especially when active hotspots require fast coordination and sufficient resources.
For now, what can be seen from the published footage is that the flames continue to pose a risk, while calls for more aerial intervention have now been made public.
