Fire in Prespa National Park/ Mayor: Intervention plan ready to extinguish

A fire broke out this Saturday afternoon in the Prespa National Park, in the Pustec area.

The Mayor of Pustec, Pali Kolefski, said that the weather and drought have contributed to the rapid spread of the flames.

Regarding the situation, Kolefski stressed that an intervention plan is being developed, while work continues to clarify the causes of the fire.

"From the first moments we were notified, there was a quick response, but the weather and this drought have favored its spread. The fire has caught in an area with low vegetation and what makes the intervention difficult is that there is no road to cross. We tried with all the means we have, even with fire extinguishers, we also had help from the Municipality of Pogradec. Our municipality's firefighters, Pogradec firefighters, service workers, the protected area have been here. We are making an intervention plan for tomorrow in the early hours of the morning, this is also the opinion of the specialists that this could be more efficient. The burned area is quite large, but I can't say a figure, the terrain is very difficult, quite steep, the dense vegetation does not allow intervention. Initially, according to the specialists, the Ministry of Interior and the Police, the fire started here on the road, behind us. I don't know if it was due to carelessness or "Deliberate arson, this remains for them to prove," Kolefski said. /CNA
