Forest Fire Near Kocani Under Control

The Municipality of Kocani and the Crisis Management Centre announced on Tuesday morning that the forest fire that erupted around 02:00 pm near the city and kept on burning over the night is finally localised and under control. “We went on terrain to conduct controls and I can assure all citizens that the fire is now under control and there is no danger of its further spreading. Now we shall invest our efforts to put out the fires near the villages of Kostin Dol and Novoselani, where the terrain is very complex and the fires can only be put out with intervention from the air. I would like to thank all citizens who helped the firefighter and the soldiers to localise the fire last night,” said Kocani Mayor Nikolco Ilijev.
