The massive fire that broke out yesterday evening in the 5 Maji neighborhood in Tirana has caused serious material consequences and considerable damage. One of the owners of the burned warehouses stated that the firefighters showed negligence and lacked the necessary tools to manage the situation.
According to her testimony, the fire started at a certain point and spread due to the inability of the fire brigade to isolate it. The worried owner also stated that there was a total lack of water.
" Water, where is the water? These are the three elements that a fire needs. Water is the last. If they had one of these elements, it would be... the police wouldn't be needed at all... this whole disaster would have been extinguished."
The fire started here and spread from above. We told the firefighters, put out the fire here and nothing. It was total negligence. There was no water. They brought the water from afar. Look at the water pipes. The fire extinguishers were, fire extinguishers that are beyond standard.
I don't know, are we going to enter Europe with firefighters from the '80s and '90s? I don't know, these special emergencies, what materials they get and what equipment to put out the fire.
I mean, there was no, there was no water. I was caused a lot of damage. I'm one of the... the most damaged. I had almost two silos ready and this silo here and this one could have been saved. The first one got this one here.
"And when I arrived, both silos were not on fire. The fire was only here. The fire came from above and took all the silos from above," said the owner.
