For more than 24 hours, a powerful fire has engulfed Mount Dukat, burning over 160 hectares of dense vegetation, shrubs and pine forests.
Efforts to extinguish the flames are facing extreme difficulties, while the risk of the fire spreading towards the Llogara National Park, an area of high ecological and natural importance, continues.
According to official data, the fire line is about 3 to 4 kilometers long and has numerous branches that could spread further due to the wind and rugged mountainous terrain. The southern flank of the fire, which is located closer to the Llogara protected area, is considered the most critical and is being kept under constant monitoring.
The difficulties in intervention are numerous. The steep terrain, the lack of accessible roads and the lack of water sources in the vicinity have forced firefighters to work with hand tools such as shovels, picks and backpack pumps. High temperatures and strong winds further aggravate the situation.
There are over 15 firefighters on the scene, working in continuous shifts, writes A2 CNN.
Authorities warn that the spread of the flames towards Llogara Park could have serious consequences for the local flora and fauna. Teams on the ground are continuing to create protective and dividing lines to prevent the spread of the fire. (A2 Televizion)
