Korça Prefect Nertil Jole told reporters on Monday that around 150 personnel are currently engaged in the firefighting operation.

With the air temperatures dropping and the coordinated efforts increasing, officials are optimistic that the fire can be brought under control soon.

Speaking to the media, Jole noted that around 1,000 personnel and nearly 100 vehicles have been deployed across the south-eastern region of Korça in recent days to respond to multiple wildfire outbreaks.

“We were alerted two days ago by the Gorica border station about a fire that had broken out in the Prespa National Park,” Jole explained. “Thanks to a rapid response by local structures, including the staff of the Regional Agency for Protected Areas, immediate action was taken to contain the fire in its early stages.”

So far, approximately 7 hectares of vegetation have been burned.

“We hope that today’s and tomorrow’s efforts will lead to full containment of the fire,” the prefect said.
