Despite the fire being localized, teams remain on site due to the persistent risk of flare-ups. Today’s suppression efforts incorporated a military helicopter, which provided aerial support to units stationed at critical points. Following a challenging night and several hours of intense fighting against the flames, the fire in Pelister has been fully contained.
However, the potential for re-ignition and subsequent spread remains significant and is heavily influenced by current atmospheric conditions. During the intervention, two personnel from the involved fire suppression units sustained injuries. Field reports indicate that both individuals are in stable health condition.
The comprehensive response to the incident involved personnel from the NP “Pelister” teams, alongside firefighting units from Manastir and Resnjë. These efforts were augmented by additional support resources. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely to manage the residual risk associated with the localized event.
The continued presence of teams is necessary to mitigate any potential resurgence of the fire and ensure public safety as conditions stabilize.
