Forest Fire Rages for Two Days in Roskovec

For the last two days, a forest fire has been burning in the Vlosh forest in Roskovec. As with most of the recent fires across the country, the efforts of firefighters have been hampered due to difficult terrain.

This has resulted in the advancement of the flames resulting in tens of hectares of forest being destroyed.

Firefighters and Municipal employees are working to prevent the spread of the fire by creating ‘dirt corridors’. Police are also on the scene.

Investigations are underway to establish the cause of the fire. Authorities have said they believe the majority of recent fires across Albania wer set on purpose.
