One of the arsonists in the pine forest near Laç has been handcuffed by the police, while another has been declared wanted.
The fire has involved a large area of forest near the city, while firefighters from all municipalities neighboring Kurbin, the Armed Forces and a "Cougar" helicopter have gone to the scene.

"Fires in the country. In Kurbin Municipality, in the massif of pine trees near the city of Laçi, we have one of the most difficult situations created by fires this year. While the firefighting forces of all the municipalities near Kurbin have been ordered to intervene, the Civil Emergencies, the Armed Forces and the Rapid Intervention Forces have also left for Laç. The State Police arrested one of the perpetrators of this arson (41-year-old citizen VH) in the act," writes Balla.
