More than 74 firefighters fight the intense fire in Ward 3 of Tirana
A massive fire broke out in Unit 3 of Tirana, Albania, rapidly escalating into a massive blaze that now requires the efforts of over 74 firefighters working around the clock to bring it under control. The fire, which started late last night, has spread rapidly, fueled by nearby structures and strong winds that have complicated firefighting efforts. As of this morning, the fire remains largely out of control, with emergency services coordinating additional resources to fight the blaze.
Residents in Unit 3 have been asked to evacuate as the fire continues to spread, affecting homes, businesses and the natural landscape. Local authorities are also advising those nearby to stay indoors and away from smoke-filled areas if evacuation is not yet mandatory, as air quality is rapidly deteriorating. Several ambulances and medical teams have been sent to help residents affected by smoke inhalation, and nearby hospitals are on high alert to receive potential victims.
The source of the fire has not yet been confirmed, but initial reports suggest the fire may have started in an industrial area within Unit 3. Firefighters at the scene are facing challenging conditions due to narrow streets and intense heat, as well as additional support units from neighboring towns have mobilized to help.
Local government officials and emergency response coordinators are asking for patience and cooperation from the public as they work to improve the situation. Efforts are focused on preventing further spread of the fire in nearby densely populated areas. Authorities have promised a full investigation to determine the cause of the fire once the flames are out, with the aim of preventing future incidents.
As Tirana residents watch anxiously, the resilience of firefighting teams and support from surrounding communities highlight the collective efforts to combat this unprecedented crisis in Albania’s capital.
