The Chief of the Fire Department, Luan Kapaj, spoke about the situation of the fires in Vlora. While he was on the ground working to put out the flames, Kapaj said that the situation is very difficult and that homes are at risk.
He said that the wind favors the flames, while he emphasized that there are only 30 personnel and that it is difficult to cope with so many people.
" This fire started a few hours ago, it is very difficult to get it under control because the strong wind makes it possible to spread the flames, which are burning vineyards, olive trees, and fruit trees. Housing is at risk. It is very difficult, the terrain is thick with bushes, we have had no way of controlling it. We are the same forces, it is impossible how much power the fire brigade has to face this difficult fire situation. There are several villages that have been engulfed by fires. We are 30 operating personnel for fire situations ", said Kapaj.
