Fire in Peshtan i Vogël reaches critical proportions, residents evacuated and dozens of homes at risk

The fire in the village of Peshtan i Vogël has now become the most critical hotspot, as the situation continues to worsen. The flames are spreading rapidly, directly threatening dozens of homes and hundreds of olive trees at the height of the harvest season.

Faced with the immediate threat to homes, authorities have begun evacuating local residents. The fire has engulfed areas of fruit-bearing trees in full production, causing considerable economic damage to the local community.

Angered by their losses, the evacuated residents say the spread of the fire could have been prevented if the initial response had been more effective. They claim delays allowed the flames to spiral completely out of control.

According to residents, this is not the first time fires have caused such severe damage. They are calling for a stronger institutional response and concrete preventive measures against such disasters, which destroy the fruits of many years of labor and effort.
