The fire in Abazë, Krujë has reignited from time to time, keeping the situation on the ground unstable and forcing the intervention to continue both from the ground and from the air. Local authorities claim that homes are not at risk at this stage, while the operation to isolate the flames remains ongoing.
The problematic hotspot remains active
In the Abazë area of Krujë, the flames have reignited several times, making it difficult to fully stabilize the situation. According to the official version, the cause of the fire’s return is the trunks of burned trees, which continue to keep an active hotspot on the ground.
This means that even when the fire appears to be temporarily contained, the risk of reignition remains present and requires the uninterrupted presence of forces on the ground.
Municipality says homes are not at risk
Deputy Mayor of Krujë Municipality Yllka Kukalaj has said that homes in the area are currently not at risk. This is the assessment given by the local government at a time when the authorities themselves acknowledge that the fire is reigniting from time to time.
It is precisely this instability of the hotspot that makes the situation delicate, even though local institutions are conveying the message that the flames are being kept under control.
Operation from the ground and by helicopter
Firefighting forces, army forces on the ground, and an Air Force helicopter have been engaged in the intervention. According to official information, work is continuing intensively to extinguish the flames and bring the hotspot under control.
The involvement of aerial assets shows that the terrain and the dynamics of the fire remain challenging, while the operation is being supported by a combination of intervention from the air and from the ground.
For the moment, the focus remains on the full isolation of the hotspot that is repeatedly reigniting.
In the absence of sustained stabilization on the ground, the situation in Abazë, Krujë remains sensitive.
