A fire has broken out in the hills above Llaman, in Himara, raising concern over the rapid spread of the flames across open terrain. According to publicly released information, strong winds are favoring the fire’s advance, while firefighting services have intervened at the scene.
The flames appeared in the morning
The fire was detected at around 09:00 in the hilly area above Llaman. In a short time, the flames spread rapidly, a development linked to unfavorable terrain conditions and the impact of strong winds.
At this stage, the fire remains active and the situation remains unstable because of its rapid spread across open ground.
Shrubs and trees are burning
According to preliminary information, the fire has affected shrubs and trees in the area. This makes the intervention more difficult, especially when the flames are being pushed by the wind and the terrain favors their spread.
No information has been published about other damage, while the main focus remains isolating the fire and stopping its advance.
Firefighters on the ground
Firefighting crews have arrived at the scene and are working to bring the fire under control. So far, authorities have not provided a more detailed assessment of the extent of the affected area.
It remains to be seen whether the intervention on the ground will be enough to quickly contain the blaze, at a time when the wind is emerging as the main factor worsening the situation.
Fires in such coastal and hilly areas once again highlight the territory’s vulnerability to wind and to delayed intervention or limited response capacity.
For now, what is known is that the fire in Llaman remains active and the operation to control the flames is continuing on the ground.
