On Brač again, four Canadians at work

A large wildfire broke out early in the morning near the village of Pučišća on the northern coast of the island of Brač, engulfing grass, low vegetation, and forest in difficult-to-reach terrain. Firefighters, including four Canadian firefighters, are working to contain the blaze along with 65 local firefighters using 20 fire trucks from Brač and intervention units from Split. Additional support has been sent from the Split-Dalmatia county. The area affected by the fire has not yet been officially assessed, but media reports suggest around three square kilometers have burned so far. Another significant fire erupted near Škrljevo east of Reka during the night, burning approximately 30 hectares of grass and low vegetation. Around 100 firefighters with 30 vehicles are currently fighting this fire, supported by an air tractor. In Serbia, multiple wildfires remain active, particularly in the Deliblatska Peščara region in northeastern Serbia, the mountain range of Stolovi in central Serbia, and the area of Bujanovac in southern Serbia. Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dačić reported that there are around 40 forest fires active across the country, with the worst conditions in Deliblatska P
