A large fire has engulfed the Buduk area in Gjirokastra, burning a significant area of vegetation and 20 fruit trees. The flames spread towards the drinking water pump that supplies the city and surrounding agricultural lands, but thanks to quick intervention they were isolated, avoiding greater damage to infrastructure and other areas.
The fire engulfed about 3,000 square meters, where a 50 m² warehouse with agricultural materials and an Opel Cabriolet vehicle (2005, license plate AA841VF) were also damaged. A Benz 2400 (1984, no license plate) was also located near the warehouse.
Thanks to the immediate action of the fire brigade and army troops, the flames were brought under control and the situation is currently stable. Teams on the ground continue to work to extinguish the remaining fires in order to prevent the fire from spreading further.
