The situation on Mount Tërbuni in Pukë has worsened, with flames advancing rapidly through forested areas and intervention on the ground facing serious difficulties. So far, one abandoned house has also been reported engulfed by the fire.
The flames are spreading across the forest massif
The fire on Mount Tërbuni appears to be out of control as it spreads across large forested areas. The fire front has spread to several parts of the massif, further worsening the situation on the ground.
The extent of the damage has not yet been made clear, but the pace at which the flames are spreading points to a troubling situation in one of Pukë’s mountainous areas.
Wind and terrain are making intervention difficult
According to reported information, the wind and the rugged mountain terrain are favoring the fire’s advance and making it difficult to isolate the active hotspots.
This has limited the effectiveness of the intervention on the ground, while efforts have focused on slowing any further spread into other parts of the forest.
An abandoned house has been caught in the flames
According to publicly released information, the fire has also engulfed an abandoned house. No further details have been provided on material damage or any direct risk to other homes.
The lack of a fuller assessment still leaves unclear the real extent of the damage caused so far by this fire.
Efforts to isolate the fire continue, but the situation remains severe
The forces engaged are continuing their work to isolate the fire and prevent the flames from spreading into other areas. However, conditions on the ground are keeping the situation difficult.
At this stage, the official version speaks of ongoing efforts, but on the ground the fire remains active and out of control.
In an area of harsh terrain and strong winds, bringing the flames under control remains the main challenge.
For the moment, the picture emerging from Tërbuni is of a fire that continues to advance faster than it can be contained.
