A significant fire has been reported in the area situated between the villages of Andon Poçi and Hundëkuq, presenting a potential risk of flames spreading toward nearby residential zones. The incident involves two primary active hotspots, which together cover an approximate perimeter of 4 kilometers. The challenging topography and thick vegetation significantly impede both intervention efforts and the movement of necessary firefighting equipment.
Furthermore, authorities have noted that three other fire hotspots have been identified within the same general area over the preceding week. The entire firefighting service from the Gjirokastër Civil Protection Directorate is currently on site, actively managing the situation and providing continuous monitoring. Support for the ongoing operation is anticipated to arrive from additional firefighting units, volunteer firefighters, and members of the Armed Forces, all contributing to efforts to bring the fire under control.
The difficult terrain complicates containment efforts, and crews are working to manage the spread of flames. The response remains concentrated on mitigating the risk posed by the active fire zones.
