Due to the winds, the fire started to spread rapidly in the direction of Old Dojran.
The high temperatures and winds have caused a series of fires in different parts of North Macedonia and firefighters have been fighting the flames for more than 10 days, especially in Mount Serta near the municipality of Shtip, in the east of the country, and the fire is still not completely extinguished.
Countries such as Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and Romania came to the aid of North Macedonia by sending helicopters and special planes to extinguish the fires.
