A fire broke out in Vinisce near Trogir on Sunday afternoon, prompting immediate action by firefighting teams due to its proximity to residential areas. The blaze, which began around 3 pm local time, was initially reported by the State Fire Operational Center (193) at 3:08 pm. Firefighters from the Trogir operational area were dispatched swiftly to contain the situation, with additional support from aerial units. By late afternoon, officials confirmed that the fire had been brought under control and that efforts were ongoing to clear the affected area. The fire spread rapidly through open terrain, consuming grass, low vegetation, and pine forests. At one point, it posed a direct threat to nearby homes, prompting emergency measures to prevent further encroachment. Firefighters deployed multiple ground crews and aerial resources, including two CL-415 water-bombing aircraft, to combat the flames. According to reports, a single air tanker, an Air Tractor, was initially redirected from its surveillance mission to assist in early containment efforts. As the fire subsided, the aerial units withdrew, leaving ground crews to continue their work. Firefighters from several regions, including Trogir, Kaštela, and Split, were involved in the operation. Initial assessments indicated that the fire had not caused any casualties or damage to structures, though some building facades were charred. The situation remained stable throughout the evening, with officials stating that the fire was no longer spreading and that the area was being systematically cleared. The local fire chief, Marin Buble, emphasized that all residential properties had been protected, and no injuries were reported. In addition to the incident in Vinisce, other fires have recently occurred in the region, particularly linked to recent weather conditions. On the island of Čiovo, a fire in Žedno activated twice within a day, requiring intervention from both ground and aerial units. Firefighters from multiple operational areas, including Split, Trogir, and Omiš, worked together to suppress the blaze, which consumed approximately 100 hectares of land. Despite challenging weather, including strong winds and heavy rain, the efforts proved successful, with no structural damage reported. Further complicating the regional response was another fire that emerged on the island of Šolta, which required rapid deployment of both ground and aerial resources. Officials noted that while these incidents were largely contained, they highlighted the ongoing challenges posed by unpredictable weather patterns and the increased frequency of wildfires during periods of extreme heat and dryness. The fire in Vinisce, however, appears to have been fully extinguished by late evening, with authorities confirming that the area was safe and that no further action was necessary. The incident has prompted discussions among local officials about the need for enhanced preparedness and response strategies, especially given the increasing occurrence of such events in the region. Firefighters continue to monitor the site to ensure complete safety and to assess any long-term environmental impact.
