Dojran, 31 July 2024 (MIA) - The major fire that broke out on Tuesday near a landfill in Star Dojran has been extinguished. On-duty teams were on the ground overnight monitoring the situation to make sure that the fire is out.

According to Dojran Mayor Ango Angov, smoldering hotspots of yesterday's fire that engulfed three houses are still present in several places, and fire suppression mechanization will be used during Wednesday on parts of the landfill where the fire broke out.  

Local residents, firefighters from Dojran, Valandovo, Gevgelija and Strumica, as well as a helicopter participated in extinguishing the fire.

Mayor Angov said Tuesday that the fire was probably arson, because cans of motor oil have been found at the place where the fire broke out.
