A major fire has engulfed Kashnjet in Lezhë, burning considerable areas and causing damage to several homes. According to the information available so far, ground intervention has been made difficult by the terrain, forcing authorities to deploy aerial assets as well.
The flames are spreading across a wide area
The fire in Kashnjet has reached major proportions and has affected a considerable area in the zone. In addition to the damage on the ground, consequences have also been reported for several homes.
The facts known so far point to a situation that has gone beyond an ordinary fire outbreak and has required increased engagement on the ground.
Several homes have burned
It is reported that several homes were engulfed by the flames and burned. At the time the fire reached them, they were unoccupied.
So far, no public information has been released about any injured people, while the focus of the operation remains isolating the fire hotspots and stopping any further spread.
Aerial intervention بسبب terrain
According to the official version, the difficult terrain and the inability to access some areas by land have limited the intervention of forces on the ground. For this reason, the operation is also being supported from the air.
Two helicopters are currently operating in the area, with the aim of neutralizing the most problematic fire hotspots.
Security perimeter due to risk from bullets
A security perimeter has been established in the affected area. According to the authorities, it is suspected that in some parts there may be explosions of leftover bullets.
This element makes the situation even more complicated for residents and teams on the ground, as the risk is linked not only to the flames, but also to the possibility of explosions near the fire hotspots.
Forces on the ground continue their work to isolate and extinguish the fire, while the situation in Kashnjet remains problematic.
Until the flames are fully extinguished, the assessment of the damage and the real risk in the area remains open.
