The first victim from the fires in the country has been recorded. In Gramsh, the flames have been out of control for several hours, burning bushes, forest areas and homes in several villages. As a result of the flames and smoke, it is learned that an elderly person in the village of Kullollas, in Gramsh, has died as a result of asphyxiation.
The 80-year-old is suspected of starting a fire in the garden of his apartment, which then got out of control and spread massively to several other villages.
"Around 11:00, it is suspected that a citizen around 80 years old started a fire in the garden of his apartment, in the village of Kullollas, a fire that got out of control and spread massively to several villages in the Gramsh district. It is suspected that as a result of asphyxiation, this citizen lost his life ," the police announced.
Given the alarming situation, the Ministry of Defense has issued another urgent call for residents of several villages in Gramsh to leave their homes.
"Due to the fires, we call on the residents of the villages of Kullollas, Bletëz and Menkollarë to immediately leave their homes and cooperate with the authorities for safe evacuation ," the ministry announced.
In the village of Skënderbegas, one of the most affected areas, a complete evacuation order has been issued, as the flames have come dangerously close to homes.
However, the situation is made even more dramatic by the refusal of some residents to leave, who are trying, amidst tears, to save as much as they can from their burning houses.
"We're not leaving, we have our lives here, " they are heard saying, overcome with despair.
The fires have left residents injured, while firefighters have been unable to enter critical areas due to thick smoke and giant flames, which have made intervention from the ground impossible.
The administrator of the Skanderbegas unit in Gramsh said in a statement to the media that the situation is very, very serious and that the damage is extensive.
"The fire has engulfed 4 villages, two of which have been completely burned, Kullollas and Bletez. The action to evacuate residents from the area continues ," he said.
The situation is also critical in the surrounding villages, where every minute counts to save lives, homes and land. Meanwhile, calls for help from residents on social media and communications with authorities are increasing by the hour.
