This year's massive fires may trigger floods, high risk remains in Albania

Forestry experts and naturalists say this year's massive fires are expected to increase the risk of flooding during the winter season. The fires, which are considered to be the largest of the last decade, have burned the plant cover in many areas, accelerating erosion and flooding.

According to experts, local governments are showing great deficiencies in fire protection, forest management and emergency response. Drone images in many areas of Albania show the situation left behind in forests and pastures by this year's massive fires.

According to updated data from the European Forest Fire Information System, Albania has been ravaged since the beginning of this year by about 160 massive fires that have burned about 46,000 hectares of forest.

The damages from this year's fires are the biggest of the last decade, experts estimate.

The risk of flooding increases in some regions of the country, as a result of the damage to the plant cover by the fires, local forest experts say. According to them, immediate changes in planning and management of the situation are necessary. They all want to have more technological equipment for detecting fires in time. Also, the tools for fighting fires from simple pumps to motorized tools are missing. Increased attention, experts say, should also be paid to the training of the staff that should be engaged in the field to extinguish fires.
