The cause of the outbreak has not yet been determined, while the burning plastic waste has created a dense cloud of black smoke that has covered the surrounding area.
Immediately after being notified, the Klos Municipality fire service headed to the scene to intervene and extinguish the fire.
The flames pose a risk of spreading toward the oak forest near the village of Plan i Bardhë, as well as toward nearby homes.
Authorities have not ruled out the possibility that the fire was deliberately started, and an investigation is expected to begin to clarify the circumstances.
The Bulqizë Municipality waste disposal site is located along the Qaf Buall–Martanesh road. According to available information, safety measures are lacking there, and access to the waste field is possible for anyone.
