TIRANA — In a broad area throughout the country’s forests, fire is threatening because of carelessness and high temperatures. In the forests of the Berat district, in the Tomorr area, where a fire was identified around 15 July, the blaze has still not been extinguished. This is stated by specialists from the district forestry service. To date, in this wooded area under black pine forests, around 30 hectares of forest about 20 years old have burned. Firefighters went to put out the fire, but the difficult mountain road hindered them. Yesterday the forest ranger of the Drenovë forest said that on Saturday afternoon the fire flared up again in the place where it had previously been extinguished. Herusuda is working on the burned forest in the Berat area, checking the zone to see whether the forest floor has also burned. Further down, at the end of the black pine forest line, the beech forest begins, where the danger is greater, the spread is faster and the damage more serious. In the forests of the Berat district, no measures have yet been taken to cut firebreaks to prevent the spread of fire. Also yesterday, the head of the forestry service in the Skrapar district said that the fire that broke out three days ago in the pine forest of the village of Gjerbës has been extinguished. The fire source remained isolated in an area smaller than one hectare. The fire was caused by the carelessness of shepherds. TIRANA — A Madon wrote that yesterday there was also the possibility of a fire in the Ahishtë forest area. Appearing in the early morning hours, the flames were brought under control by forestry service workers. The flames affected between two and five hectares of scrub and oak. In the Drenovë pine forest, for the second time this month the fire spread into a new forest area. It is believed that the fire was triggered by human carelessness. Meanwhile, there were also fires in the Salcë area. There a surface with low vegetation was burned. TIRANA — In the forests of Lurë and on Mount Dajti there were no fire outbreaks yesterday. The forestry service announced that all units have been put on alert because of the high temperatures and the lack of rainfall.
