In the middle of the night, a fire broke out in Vrgorce, and the firefighters on the Macadam Road were greeted by an incredible sight.

A fire broke out overnight near the border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the village of Kašču. The fire spread through grass, low vegetation, and a pine tree on Bučel. Firefighters from Vrgorac protected homes on the Croatian side, while firefighters from Ljubuški responded from the Bosnian side. The incident raised questions about the cause of the fire, especially since it occurred late at night and the old macadam road connecting the two villages was blocked by large rocks, preventing access for firefighting vehicles. Local residents and police have different accounts of the situation. The new head of the Public Security Office in Vrgorac, Željko Jović, has begun restoring order in the area. This is not the first such fire along the border, with similar incidents reported in Šipovača, Baraćuša, and Kladnik, where aerial firefighting planes were deployed.
