Furka fire contained, says Crisis Management Center
Skopje, 8 August 2022 (MIA) - A fire that broke out between the village of Furka and Paljurci dam, in between the municipalities of Dojran and Bogdanci, has been contained as a result of joint and coordinated actions taken from the ground and from the air. A containment line has been established, said the Crisis Management Center on Monday. "After the fire was contained, forces on the ground are being regrouped before the fire is fully put out," stated the Center. As part of the firefighting efforts, a police helicopter, an army helicopter and an Air Tractor aircraft of the Protection and Rescue Directorate were deployed earlier today alongside the fire brigades from the southeastern part of the country, including Gevgelija, Kavadarci, Valandovo and Strumica.
