LIVE | Wildfires Surround Albanian Town | Unprecedented Wildfires Hit Delvina for First Time
Firefighters in the southern Albanian town of Delvina are battling wildfires that have encircled the city, local residents said late on Tuesday (August 12).
The region has seen numerous wildfires in the past two weeks, but this marks the first time the flames have reached Delvina, according to residents and local officials.
Additional firefighters from neighbouring towns have been deployed. Army personnel have joined efforts as emergency teams worked to contain the blaze and protect the city.
Residents in the town, which has not seen fires of this magnitude, described the event as unusual. Among them was 91-year-old Lefter Qerama, who said, “I have lived here for 65 years, and this is the first time we have seen fires in all parts of the city. The whole city is surrounded by fire.”
Authorities have ordered evacuations as a precaution and late Tuesday, roads in Delvina were reportedly deserted.
