In Croatia on Thursday, residents and tourists were evacuated from the village of Lokva Rogoznica south of Split, which was threatened by a rapidly spreading forest fire. The flames were spreading through pine forests and advancing toward the nearby town of Omiš. The situation was worsened by strong winds, which caused the fire to spread quickly in the coastal area popular among holidaymakers. aktuality.sk ↗
More than 150 firefighters were engaged at the scene. The authorities preventively evacuated local residents and tourists, and opened a sports hall in Omiš intended for temporary accommodation of people who had to leave the endangered areas. A road was also closed due to the fire, and queues formed in the area, which complicated movement between coastal villages. Novy Cas ↗
The fire disrupted stays in Croatia for several holidaymakers, including Slovaks. Damage to houses and serious consequences for people affected by the fire were also reported. Croatia has been hit by a wave of heat in recent days with record temperatures, which increase the risk of forest fires starting and spreading. Novy Cas ↗
Further developments will depend mainly on weather and wind conditions, which could affect the spread of flames and firefighting efforts. Authorities therefore continue their operations and preventive measures in the area around Omiš and Lokva Rogoznica.
