A significant fire erupted on the evening of Friday, March 3, engulfing the Shëngjini hill located near the main thoroughfare in the Sake neighborhood. The blaze consumed a considerable expanse of shrubs and natural vegetation across the immediate area. Reports indicate that the flames spread with notable speed, a condition attributed to the dense and dry nature of the surrounding vegetation, which accelerated the fire’s advance.
Emergency response teams, including local firefighting services and various structures from the Lezhë Municipality, were immediately deployed to the site. Personnel are currently working to isolate the blaze and extinguish the active flames to prevent any further spread into adjacent properties. In connection with the incident, local police have taken action, detaining one individual suspected of involvement in arson.
Furthermore, separate reports confirm that one person sustained injuries following an explosion involving munitions at the location. Authorities have confirmed that, at this time, the fire does not present an immediate risk to nearby residential structures or the main roadway, allowing for continued circulation. Efforts remain focused on containing the remaining embers and managing the affected area to ensure public safety.
