The village of Canishte in Mariovo faced a serious situation after a fire that broke out the previous day destroyed more than 15 homes and buildings. In this settlement, which has around 10 permanent residents, the scenes today are grim. Canishte is located about 35 km from Prilep, in an area with extremely difficult terrain to access.

The flames started at around 13:30 outside the village, but quickly spread toward the homes. Residents experienced moments of panic, while some houses continued to burn afterward. They said they were still in shock.

“There were people suffocating from the smoke down below, so they were pulling them out by hand. The ambulance was here, while the firefighters were helping. I was also carrying the women out by hand; we were using systems and oxygen was being administered. Fourteen to 15 houses burned down in the village,” a Canishte resident recounted.

Another resident said that efforts to stop the flames had continued since yesterday. “We fought the fire as much as we could, with shovels and water that we drew through pipes from the wells. We ran from one side to the other to protect the houses. We have not stopped since yesterday; we slept for only 2 hours, in shifts,” he said.

“It was very frightening when the fire was spreading. How could it not be frightening when everything was burning there?” another resident said.

About 15 homes, barns and other small structures were reduced to ashes by the flames. The fire entered the village from one side and spread rapidly because of the dry grass and dense vegetation. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities have been reported.

For residents, unexploded shells left over from the First World War also posed an additional danger while they were fighting the fires. Their explosions could be heard continuously as the flames engulfed areas inside and outside the village.

Prilep’s firefighters arrived with 4 vehicles and 12 firefighters, but the great distance made the response difficult. The journey from Prilep to Canishte takes almost an hour by car.

Currently, the fire has moved away from the village, but it has not been completely extinguished. Flames continue to burn in two directions. Despite a request for aerial assistance made yesterday, the Firefighting Service did not send air support.

Teams continue to work in the field, while volunteers willing to contribute to extinguishing the fire have also been invited. The situation remains concerning, as the fire could become the largest of this season.

The institution said that, together with the Sanitary and Health Inspectorate, as well as the Food and Veterinary Agency, an extraordinary inspection and supervision had been carried out both at the company and at the firm that prepared and distributed the food.

“It is clear that we are dealing with food poisoning. The meal was consumed on Monday by the first shift at the company Mikrosam, while the symptoms appeared over the following two days. From the first shift, 61 employees were exposed, while so far 41 have shown signs of poisoning. Of them, 27 sought medical assistance at the Department of Infectious Diseases at the city hospital. We have interviewed all of them.

All of them are presenting a moderate clinical condition, with high fever, nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Up to this moment, no one has been hospitalized, but they have received therapy and are being treated at home,” said epidemiologist Tatijana Stanimiroviq from the Public Health Center in Prilep.

Meanwhile, the kitchen of the company that provided the food service and had distributed the meal has been closed, as has the canteen at the company where the food was consumed.

The Public Health Center is still awaiting the results that will determine the type and cause of the poisoning.

Pas një vakti të konsumuar të hënën, 41 punonjës të kompanisë “Mikrosam” në Prilep kanë shfaqur simptoma të helmimit nga ushqimi. Sipas Qendrës së Shëndetit Publik në Prilep, asnjë prej tyre nuk ka përfunduar i shtruar në spital.

Institucioni bëri të ditur se, së bashku me Inspektoratin Sanitar dhe Shëndetësor, si edhe me Agjencinë e Ushqimit dhe Veterinarisë, është realizuar një kontroll dhe mbikëqyrje e jashtëzakonshme si në kompani, ashtu edhe te firma që përgatiste dhe shpërndante ushqimin.

“Është e qartë se kemi të bëjmë me helmim nga ushqimi. Vakti është konsumuar të hënën nga turni i parë në kompaninë Mikrosam, ndërsa simptomat janë paraqitur gjatë dy ditëve në vijim. Nga turni i parë, 61 punonjës kanë qenë të ekspozuar, ndërsa deri tani 41 kanë shfaqur shenja helmimi. Prej tyre, 27 kanë kërkuar ndihmë mjekësore në Departamentin e Sëmundjeve Infektive në spitalin e qytetit. Ne i kemi anketuar të gjithë.

Të gjithë paraqesin një gjendje klinike mesatare, me temperaturë të lartë, të përziera, diarre dhe dhimbje barku. Deri në këtë moment, askush nuk është hospitalizuar, por kanë marrë terapi dhe po trajtohen në shtëpi”, deklaroi epidemiologia Tatijana Stanimiroviq nga Qendra për Shëndet Publik në Prilep.

Në ndërkohë, është mbyllur kuzhina e kompanisë që ofronte shërbimin ushqimor dhe që e kishte shpërndarë vaktin, si edhe mensa në kompaninë ku ushqimi ishte konsumuar.

Qendra për Shëndet Publik pret ende rezultatet që do të përcaktojnë llojin dhe mënyrën e helmimit.
