Fires in Albania/ US Embassy: American citizens should exercise caution

The US Embassy in Tirana has reiterated its call regarding fires in the country today as it continues to monitor several fires.

Through a post on the 'X' platform, the Embassy calls on American citizens in Albania to exercise increased caution, as evacuations have been carried out in some areas.

Full announcement:

US citizens should avoid affected areas, especially those under evacuation orders, and follow police instructions regarding road closures or traffic disruptions. Monitor local news for updates on wildfire conditions and plan your routes accordingly. Google Maps can also provide real-time information on road closures and wildfire activity.

-Forest fires are common in Albania. Smoke inhalation poses a serious health risk, even if you are not near the flames. If a forest fire is near your location, including your residence, evacuate immediately to an unaffected area.

-Do not attempt to drive through areas affected by wildfires or dense smoke. Seek an alternate route or consider postponing your trip if an alternate route is not available. If you have no choice but to drive through wildfire smoke, drive slowly with the windows up, the outside air vents closed, and the headlights on for maximum visibility.

– We strongly encourage U.S. citizens in affected areas who are safe to monitor local news and contact their loved ones directly and/or update their status on social media./CNA
