Massive fire engulfs Soda Forest, pine areas at risk

A powerful fire engulfed the Soda Forest area in Vlora this afternoon, causing a large cloud of smoke that spread over the city.

The fire broke out in an area of ​​pine trees near the railway line towards Zvërnec, while the flames spread rapidly due to high temperatures and wind.

Firefighters and emergency services have been deployed to try to bring the situation under control. Residents and holidaymakers in the area have also joined in helping the teams on the ground to contain the fire.

The situation is problematic due to the risk of the flames spreading to a larger area of ​​vegetation, while authorities are also monitoring the possibility of the fire approaching businesses and buildings in the area.

Fire services continue to intervene to localize the source of the fire, while citizens have been asked to avoid moving near the affected area and follow the instructions of the authorities.
