Skopje, 2 April 2024 (MIA) - Sixteen open air fires, including six ones that are still active, have been recorded in the past 24 hours, the Crisis Management Center (CMC) says. 

The Ohrid and Tetovo regional crisis management centers record two each and the Shtip and Kumanovo regional crisis management centers one each. 

“As the night fell, and due to containment of fires and rugged terrain and no danger to people, the people extinguishing the fires yesterday had been withdrawn from the terrain. They will fully put out the fires where necessary and where possible,” CMC says Tuesday. 

The body urges against setting on fire vegetation in the open air, and calls for regular cleaning of local sewages, also advising against throwing of rubbish in them.
