The Crisis Management Center reported that as of 1:00 PM, a total of seven instances of open-area fires had been registered across the region. According to the official report, the situation remains fluid, with five fires still active in the municipalities of Gostivar, Rankovce, Kratovo, Manastir, and Nagoriçan i Vjetër. Authorities confirmed that outbreaks in Vinica and Negotina have been successfully brought under control.
The affected areas involved a variety of materials, including low vegetation, agricultural stubble, mixed forests, pastures, and accumulated waste sites. Emergency teams are currently engaged in continuous monitoring and on-the-ground intervention efforts. Their primary objectives are to pinpoint the origins of the fires and implement measures to prevent any further escalation or spread.
In light of the current conditions, authorities have issued urgent appeals for heightened caution among the public. The heightened risk posed by the ongoing fires is attributed to the persistently high ambient temperatures. Local emergency services continue to deploy resources to manage the incidents and mitigate potential hazards associated with the dry conditions.
The focus remains on coordinated efforts to contain the fires and ensure public safety across the affected regions.
