The fires in Trmanje and Radovče are still active today, i.e. the forest was burning in inaccessible terrain. The fire has been active in Trmanje for ten days, and in Radovča for several days, but the Protection and Rescue Service points out that the houses are not threatened.

"The situation is under control, there is one crew on the ground in Trmanje, while two teams, or seven firefighters, intervened today in Radovče," said the head of the Protection and Rescue Service Andrija Čađenović.

He explained that the problem in Trmanje is that there are many trees that fell when there was a fire a few years ago.

"These are dry trees, which burn and smolder for days, are difficult to put out, and when the wind blows, then the fire spreads further. There are four firefighters at Trmanje 24 hours a day, they go around the area, they control, when the wind turns the fire towards the houses, they put it out," said Čađenović.

He said that the firefighters were stationed at Trmanje with the locals, and that the fire was much less intense yesterday compared to before.

"We sent one vehicle with a crew to help our colleagues in Cetinje to deal with the fire," said Čađenović.

He pointed out that the fire in Radeka in Kuči was extinguished, and that the firefighters had six interventions before noon.

From the beginning of August, until yesterday at 18 p.m., firefighters had 243 interventions to extinguish fires, and they transported 75 cisterns of drinking water to waterless areas on the territory of the Capital City.
