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

A tall ash tree fell onto a beach in Crikvenica, injuring four people, including two children, during a visit to the area. The incident occurred around 11:10 local time, according to reports from the coastal-mountain police. The tree, estimated to be approximately 13.5 meters high, collapsed near its roots. Four individuals were found beneath the fallen tree, four adults, two children from Croatia, and one child from the Czech Republic. All four managed to free themselves before emergency services arrived. They sustained minor injuries, primarily bruises and superficial wounds, according to local media. The company EKO-MURVICA, responsible for maintaining green spaces, has stated that they will work with experts to investigate the circumstances of the accident. The tree in question was identified as an ash species, known for relatively shallow root systems. Factors affecting the stability of such trees can include prolonged drought, soil characteristics, and terrain conditions. The beach known as Balustrada is located on sandy ground, which could influence root stability. EKO-MURVICA has also warned that damage to the root system and associated risks of tree collapse are not always detectable through routine visual inspections, especially if the tree does not show visible signs of distress. While specialized diagnostic methods and equipment exist for assessing tree condition, these tools cannot guarantee complete safety in all cases. Following the incident, the company announced additional inspections of trees on the Balustrada beach and other heavily visited public areas to determine whether further expert assessments or preventive measures are necessary. Local authorities confirmed that none of the injured were in life-threatening condition. All four victims were transported to the Clinical Hospital Center Reka for treatment. Several other bystanders reportedly suffered minor injuries, and assistance was provided on-site immediately after the fall. Emergency services responded swiftly, ensuring the safety of those present and coordinating medical care. The incident highlights ongoing challenges in managing urban and recreational green spaces, particularly in regions prone to environmental stressors such as extended dry periods. Experts emphasize that even well-maintained trees can experience unexpected failures due to complex interactions between biological factors and environmental conditions. In this case, the combination of sandy terrain and potential long-term moisture deficits may have contributed to the instability of the ash tree’s root system. In response to the accident, EKO-MURVICA expressed regret over the occurrence and wished the affected individuals a swift recovery. Their teams arrived at the scene promptly upon notification and are collaborating with relevant specialists to analyze the cause of the tree’s collapse. This includes examining both immediate and broader environmental influences that might have played a role in the event. The company has also reiterated the limitations of current inspection practices, noting that while advanced techniques exist, they are not foolproof. As a result, they plan to conduct more thorough evaluations of trees in high-traffic public areas to identify potential risks and implement appropriate safeguards. These efforts aim to enhance the safety of visitors while preserving the ecological integrity of the region's natural landscapes.

High risk of wildfires: authorities urge maximum caution

Due to current weather conditions and increased dryness of vegetation, the risk of wildfires in nature is high. Authorities are urging all residents and visitors to exercise maximum caution and responsible behavior. Even minor negligence could lead to fires that spread quickly due to dry plants and wind. People are advised not to light fires, discard cigarette butts, or leave any flammable items in nature. Special attention is needed when using machinery or devices outdoors, including avoiding parking vehicles on dry grass or other surfaces where hot parts of the vehicle could cause ignition.

A major fire near Konjic is approaching residential buildings, BiH is asking for international help

Veliki gozdní požar v občini Konjic na Jugu Bosne in Hercegovine se že več dni borijo gasilci z njim, razmere pa so se v zadnjem času急剧 pogorjevale. Požar se je približal stanovanjskim objektom, kar je povzročilo obrazca naravne nesreče in zaprosilo za mednarodno pomoč. Požar je izbruhnil minuli teden, vmes ga so omejili, a se je ponovno aktiviral. Visoke temperature, močan veter in zahteven teren otežujejo poskuse gašenja. V naselju Džepi se je požar razširil proti naselju in uničil več zapuščenih objektov. Tudi v naselju Živašnica je izbruhnil nov požar. V gašenju sodelujejo poklicni in prostovoljni gasilci, delavci gozdnega gospodarstva, civilna zaščita in domačini. Štab civilne zaščite je razglasil stanje naravne nesreče. Župan Konjice Osman Ćatić je zaprosil za mednarodno pomoč, pričakujejo tudi prihod dveh air tractorjev in pomoč helikopterja oboroženih sil Bosne in Hercegovine.
