Today they left theirs at home and went climbing, and Torcida and Boysi...

Minister of Economy Ante Šušnjar praised the efforts of workers from HEP (Croatian electricity company) and other responders during a major fire in Omiš, Croatia, which resulted in one death and multiple injuries. He highlighted their dedication in repairing damaged infrastructure and restoring power to homes and businesses despite difficult conditions. Šušnjar expressed gratitude toward these individuals, emphasizing the value of human effort in times of crisis. He also noted the solidarity shown by members of football clubs Torcida and Bad Blue Boys, who offered assistance to the emergency teams. The minister called for more unity among people during crises rather than focusing on rivalry.

Minister of Economy Ante Šušnjar has publicly thanked employees of HEP and Elektrodalmacija for their large-scale involvement in restoring the severely damaged electrical grid following a fire in the Omis area. In a statement posted on X, he emphasized the importance of solidarity during times of crisis, highlighting the efforts of both professionals and volunteers who contributed to the recovery process. The minister noted that many citizens will spend the Feast of the Assumption with their families while workers from HEP climb difficult terrain, replace destroyed poles, and repair the network to restore electricity supply to homes as quickly as possible. He expressed gratitude for the visible effort behind such work, which is often unnoticed until power is lost. The fire, which occurred earlier this week, caused extensive damage to infrastructure and left hundreds of residents without electricity. According to reports, around 800 people still lack access to power, despite ongoing restoration efforts. Workers from HEP have been working since early morning, facing challenging conditions due to the inaccessible nature of the terrain. They face difficulties transporting equipment and materials, relying heavily on manual labor. One worker described the situation as requiring approximately 70 poles and hundreds of low-voltage lines to be replaced, emphasizing the scale of the task ahead. In addition to professional teams, local communities have played a crucial role in supporting affected residents. Volunteers from the Torcida football club arrived organized and offered assistance to HEP crews, demonstrating a spirit of unity beyond sports rivalries. This support was further highlighted by a message from the Bad Blue Boys, which read, “Dinamov north meets Croatian south.” Šušnjar praised these gestures, noting that such acts of solidarity reflect deeper connections among people rather than divisions created by competition. Meanwhile, aid continues to flow into the region through various channels. Donations collected by the Red Cross include clothing, hygiene supplies, food, and other essentials needed by displaced families. These donations have exceeded initial expectations, prompting officials to state that they currently have more than enough resources to meet immediate needs. In one community center, volunteers coordinate the distribution of aid based on detailed assessments of each household’s requirements, ensuring that specific needs such as food, water, and care for pets are met efficiently. Local authorities have also received financial support from neighboring regions. For example, the city of Vukovar has pledged €10,000 in aid to help with the aftermath of the disaster. Mayor Marijan Pavliček expressed solidarity with the people of Omis, stating that the two cities share a long-standing friendship and that the funds will be used specifically for repairing damages caused by the fire. Similarly, businesses and organizations have stepped forward to offer additional support, including accommodation, food, and essential supplies. Westgate Group, a hospitality company, has committed to providing temporary housing for displaced residents in its Split-based hotel, AC Hotel by Marriott. Despite high occupancy rates, the group has decided to make extra efforts to accommodate families and those most affected by the fire. The company has also coordinated with the Red Cross to deliver water, food, and other basic necessities to the affected areas. In a statement, the group expressed deep empathy for the victims of the fire, acknowledging the emotional impact of losing homes and belongings within minutes. Chef Stjepan Vukadin, known for his participation in the television show MasterChef, launched a donation drive to collect supplies for families displaced by the fire. His initiative, announced via social media, called on citizens to contribute items such as diapers, baby milk, hygiene products, and clothing for children. The collection took place at a parking lot near his restaurant in Trogir and was completed very quickly, with sufficient supplies gathered within hours. Vukadin expressed gratitude to all participants, emphasizing how collective action can create meaningful change even in moments of crisis. As the situation continues to unfold, the focus remains on restoring normalcy for affected residents. While the physical rebuilding of infrastructure is underway, the emotional and psychological recovery of the community is equally vital. Local leaders and humanitarian organizations continue to monitor the progress of aid distribution and ensure that no family is left without necessary support. With continued collaboration between government agencies, private sector entities, and volunteer groups, there is hope that the affected areas will gradually return to stability.

The fire took everything away, and then something wonderful happened: 'People came from all over'

Poslijepozornog požara u Omišu, građani Hrvatske pokrenuli su masovnu pomoć stradalima, donirajući odjeću, hranu, higijenske potrepštine i druge potrebe. Prihvatni centri su otvoreni i primaju ogroman broj donacija, dok Crveni križ tvrdi da imaju više nego dovoljno pomoći. Međutim, glavni problem ostaje nedostatak struje za oko 800 ljudi, što otežava obnovu i životne uvjete. Radnici HEP-a i lokalni stanovnici trudno se suočavaju s nepristupačnim terenom i štetom na elektroenergetskoj mreži. Turisti su također koristili prihvatne centre za punjenje uređaja, dok društvene mreže i Facebook grupe nudili su dodatnu pomoć u obliku automobila, smještaja i drugih potreba.
