A massive fire has engulfed the eastern part of the Munella Natural Park in Kukës, in the administrative area of Malziu, in the place called Maja e Zezë, in the last few hours.
The flames have engulfed a territory of particular ecological and natural importance, where forests of chestnut, oak and ash trees spread, which have been engulfed by the flames and several hectares of them have been burned.
The fire has spread rapidly due to strong winds and steep terrain, making intervention from the ground difficult.
Also, 10 firefighters, 5 from the AZM (Protected Zones Administration) as well as residents and employees of the administrative unit have been engaged, who are working intensively to isolate and extinguish the flames.
So far, there are no reports of danger to residential areas, as the fire is located far from them.
The damage to the forest area is considerable and a more accurate assessment is expected in the future.
Local authorities call for maximum caution during this period of high temperatures and drought, while warning of penalties for any deliberate or negligent arson.
Munella Natural Park is one of the richest areas in terms of biodiversity and natural resources, and any damage to this territory constitutes a major environmental loss.
