In Yaklyan, the spread of the fire has been stopped, 48 firefighters are on the ground

A forest and low vegetation fire on the island of Jakljan has stopped spreading but remains uncontained. As of Thursday, 48 firefighters from various local and state firefighting units are working on-site to fully suppress the fire and secure the perimeter. The fire initially broke out on Tuesday afternoon on the southwest side of the island, prompting ten firefighters and a boat to be deployed. Although the fire was brought under control by 9 PM, strong winds reignited it around midnight. Two helicopters were later called in to assist, but the fire spread further due to continued strong winds, which hindered aerial firefighting efforts. Firefighters continue their work on Thursday with support from helicopters and boats.

A wildfire on the island of Jakljan has been contained but not yet officially localized, with 48 firefighters currently working at the site. According to the regional fire chief, Stjepan Simović, there is no open flame at the fire site, but the blaze remains active. Firefighters have surrounded the fire and are focusing on securing its edges. As of Friday, around 30 firefighters and three fireboats remain on-site, according to Simović. The fire began on the southwestern side of Jakljan on Tuesday afternoon, prompting an initial response of ten firefighters and the fireboat Orlando. Despite challenges posed by strong winds, firefighters managed to bring the fire under control by 9 PM. However, the fire reignited shortly after midnight due to continued gusty conditions. Two helicopters were deployed early Wednesday morning to assist in containment efforts. Throughout Wednesday, the fire spread further due to persistent wind conditions, which hindered aerial firefighting operations. During the night, the fire continued to expand, requiring ongoing efforts supported by helicopters and three boats providing maritime assistance. By Thursday, firefighting operations resumed with the help of helicopters and the three boats. Firefighters from several regions, including Dubrovnik, Konavlje, Metković, Mljet, and the voluntary fire department Župa Dubrovačka, have been deployed to the scene. In addition, the State Intervention Unit (DIP) Dubrovnik has contributed to the effort. The fire has created extensive accumulations of pine needles, which have not previously burned and require careful management. According to Simović, the situation at the fire site is stable and satisfactory. He expressed hope that the fire would be officially localized by evening. Firefighters continue their work to fully contain the blaze and secure the perimeter.
