The fire at Chapljina is threatening homes, firefighters can't get near, Air Tractors are engaged

A wildfire has broken out near the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, spreading towards Čapljin. Due to the inaccessible swampy terrain, firefighting efforts are being conducted by Air Tractors from the air. The fire started in the area of Glibuša near Metković and has spread toward Prud and Vid. Firefighters from Metković and Vid are working to prevent the fire from spreading further into the hills and settlements, protecting greenhouses and orchards along the edge of the swamp. Canadian aircraft continue to operate on the ground. Meanwhile, the fire at Rujište near Mostar is under control, with some burned electrical poles set to be replaced today.

Bias read (Center): The article provides a factual account of a natural disaster (wildfire) and the response efforts involving local firefighters and aerial support.
