For three days, there has been an active fire on Mount Vojnik, on inaccessible terrain, and Nikšić firefighters-rescuers are being helped to put it out by locals, employees of the Forestry Administration, and help has also arrived from the air - from the Directorate for Emergency Situations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP).
"We reasonably suspect that the fire, which is on inaccessible terrain and spreading, was arson. Our firefighters-rescuers are continuously on the ground with the locals who have organized themselves on the stretch called Gola strana, near Katun Stojanović", said the commander of the Nikšić Protection and Rescue Service, Slavko Tadić.
He appealed to the citizens to take care of the ban on outdoor fires and pointed out that in cooperation with the police they have strengthened controls.
"We have ten fires every day, in the suburbs and the edge of the municipality. We will strengthen controls together with the Police Administration, and we invite citizens to contact us or the Police Administration if they notice something suspicious," said Tadić.
Yesterday, Nikšić firefighters and rescuers, together with their colleagues from Danilovgrad, successfully pulled out a DV from Derventa, from a forty-meter-long ravine, near the Lower Ostrog Monastery.
After calling for help from the Protection Service, they managed to get in touch with a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who told them in a telephone conversation that she suspected that she had broken her leg in an accident and that she had cuts on her head.
"Six firefighters and rescuers, as well as firefighters from Danilovgrad, participated in the intervention. The woman was found in a conscious state with injuries to her head and lower limbs. She was pulled out of the precipice with mountaineering equipment and handed over to the emergency team," Goran Tripković from the Nikšić Protection and Rescue Service told "Vijesta".
