Puka is going through a calmer phase in its battle with wildfires, at least according to official information from the ground. In Gjegjan, the flames have been reported extinguished, while work continues in the Prozhëm-Shkozë area to contain a hotspot that remains active.
All fire hotspots in Gjegjan reported extinguished
According to the official report, all wildfire hotspots in the Gjegjan Administrative Unit have been contained and extinguished.
The Armed Forces and local operational structures remain on the ground, focused on monitoring the perimeter to prevent the flames from reigniting.
Prozhëm-Shkozë remains the most problematic area
In the Prozhëm-Shkozë area, one fire hotspot remains active. According to the authorities, it currently does not pose a risk to homes.
However, work on the ground is continuing to fully isolate it in both directions, showing that the situation still cannot be considered closed.
Checks also under way on Mount Tërbun-Fushë Livadh
On Mount Tërbun-Fushë Livadh, verification and monitoring of the perimeter are under way for hotspots reported to have been fully extinguished.
This monitoring remains essential in conditions where fires in mountainous areas can reignite even after the initial intervention.
Forces will remain on the ground
Local structures and the Armed Forces are expected to remain engaged on the ground at all times.
The main objective, according to the official version, is to isolate the active hotspot and prevent the return of flames in the areas where the fires have been extinguished.
Although the balance in recent hours appears more favorable, the situation in Puka remains closely tied to monitoring on the ground and to the ability of the structures to keep any possible reactivation under control.
