The Crisis Management Center announces that, based on the meteorological fire index, almost the entire territory of North Macedonia is under high threat from flames, marked with the color orange. The areas of the Shar Mountain and the regions around Ohrid and Resen are an exception, where the risk level remains medium, identified in yellow.

These atmospheric conditions favor the ignition and rapid spread of fires in open spaces, as well as high-intensity forest fires throughout the country.

The Crisis Management Center calls on citizens to exercise maximum vigilance and responsibility, especially when visiting or traveling in natural environments, strictly avoiding the use of fire in open areas.

If someone notices flames, they must immediately notify the emergency number 112.

According to CMC data, a total of 29 open-space fires have been recorded in the last 24 hours. Of these, six fires are still active, one has been brought under control, and 22 have been fully extinguished.

The active fires continue in the territory of Studenichani Municipality near the villages of Morane, Vrtekica, and Ramni Gaber; in Makedonski Brod Municipality near the locality of Vidush and the villages of Dragov Doll, Llokvica, and Devich; as well as in the municipalities of Veles and Zelenikovo near the settlements of Slp, Gorno Sello, Karabunishte, Buzallkova, Dobrina, and Tisovica.
