Doubts, what caused the massive fire at '5 Maji'
Fire on May 5th

Details have been learned from the massive fire that engulfed the used clothing market on 5 Maji in Tirana.

Journalist Besar Bajraktaraj said that a silo first caught fire and then the fire spread to other silos.

"From the communications we have had with the police and ambulances, it seems difficult to intervene, as the fire has spread over a large area, in different silos. Initially, one silo caught fire, while it then spread to other silos. The materials in the silos are easily flammable. There are many plumes of smoke. There will be a resupply of water again from the ambulance. It remains difficult to keep all the flames under control. The hearth is far from the main road, where cars pass.


"There are buildings nearby, where many citizens live. The flames are spreading, but at the moment they are far from the homes. The businesses are almost next to each other. There is also a fruit and vegetable market here. There are no reports of injured citizens so far. The police and firefighters have asked citizens to stay away. Yes, the electricity has been cut off, for safety reasons ," the journalist told Klan News.
