A fire that broke out in the village of Shqiponjë, part of Prrenjas Municipality, has affected a considerable area of beech forest in the area known as “Lukovë – Guri i Mekut.”

The situation has put the fire service and local civil emergency authorities on alert.

Official sources from Prrenjas Municipality said that Fire Protection and Rescue Service personnel worked continuously throughout yesterday to battle the flames.

Intensive efforts have continued today, with the aim of containing and fully extinguishing the remaining active hotspots.

The operation is being carried out under difficult conditions due to the rugged mountainous terrain, which has prevented the movement of fire engines. To stop the fire from spreading toward other forested areas, crews have had to proceed on foot.

Teams from Prrenjas Municipality, the State Police, the forestry service and local residents have joined forces to tackle the situation, assisting the personnel operating in the field.

No injuries or damage to homes have been reported as a result of the fire. The impact has been limited to areas of beech forest, while authorities are keeping the area under surveillance to prevent hotspots from reigniting.

Today, an unexpected wave of bad weather has struck Elbasan County in recent hours, bringing intense rain and hail showers, accompanied by strong winds.

The situation is more pronounced in the Gramsh area, which faced difficult atmospheric conditions.

The rapid escalation of this severe front has resulted in an immediate drop in temperatures and has created temporary problems for vehicle movement on some road segments.

Water accumulation on the asphalt and reduced visibility are the main risks for traffic.

Although so far no significant material damage or emergency cases have been reported, local authorities are on full standby and continue to monitor the situation on the ground.

Forecasts from meteorologists indicate that rain and strong winds will continue in the coming hours, so residents and drivers are advised to travel with extra caution.
