The situation caused by the fires in Mat remains critical, while the blaze engulfing the villages of Ulzë continues to spread. The flames have covered a large area, fueled by the steep mountainous terrain, strong winds and drought.

The fire has burned homes and shepherds’ huts, while other structures are under threat. The situation is currently most serious in the villages of Lundre and Madhesh, where homes are at risk, while ground efforts to contain the fire have continued for more than a week.

The fire front has advanced along an east-west axis and has now entered the protected park of Shkopet. Local authorities, supported by the Armed Forces, are continuing efforts to extinguish the fire, but bringing it under control appears difficult without aerial intervention.

Meanwhile, another fire is threatening Mount Balgjaj. The blaze, which started on the Selishtë side in Dibër, has reached the vicinity of the Balgjaj ridge, putting another forested area of Mat district at risk.

In Bulqizë, the fire that broke out several days ago on the mountain above the village of Vajkal also remains active, while the flames have moved toward the village of Shëngjun, in the Municipality of Klos.

Zjarri ka djegur banesa e stane, ndërsa objekte të tjera ndodhen nën kërcënim. Situata më e rënduar paraqitet aktualisht në fshatrat Lundre dhe Madhesh, ku rrezikohen shtëpitë, ndërkohë që ndërhyrja nga toka vazhdon prej më shumë se një jave.

Vatra ka avancuar në aksin lindje-perëndim dhe tashmë ka depërtuar në parkun e mbrojtur të Shkopetit. Autoritetet vendore, me mbështetjen e Forcave të Armatosura, po vijojnë përpjekjet për shuarjen e zjarrit, por vendosja e tij nën kontroll duket e vështirë pa ndërhyrje ajrore.

Ndërkohë, një tjetër vatër po kërcënon malin e Balgjajt. Zjarri, i cili nisi nga krahu i Selishtës në Dibër, ka mbërritur pranë kreshtës së Balgjajt, duke rrezikuar një tjetër zonë pyjore të rrethit Mat.

Në Bulqizë mbetet aktiv edhe zjarri që ra disa ditë më parë në malin e fshatit Vajkal, ndërsa flakët janë zhvendosur në drejtim të fshatit Shëngjun, në Bashkinë Klos.

Three wildfire hotspots have been reported in the village of Madhesh, in the Ulëz administrative unit of the Municipality of Mat. Burrel’s firefighting forces, employees of the Municipality of Mat and forestry service workers have been dispatched to the area to extinguish the flames.

The three hotspots are located approximately one kilometer apart, while the fire is suspected to have been deliberately started.

The difficult mountainous terrain is making it hard for ground forces to intervene. High temperatures and strong winds are favoring the spread of the flames, increasing the risk that the fire could grow larger.

Because of the difficult situation, aerial intervention has been requested to enable the isolation and extinguishing of the wildfire hotspots.
