Above all, grass and low-stemmed plants and bushes are burning, there is no high-quality forest, Angelov informed.

There is an active fire on the territory of the municipality of Gradsko near the village of Podlec, where two "air tractors" were operating during the day, which are now operating again, but, as Angelov said, there is a possibility that they may have certain restrictions from air traffic control due to deterioration of weather conditions in Skopje.

It also burns in the territory of Macedonian ship, near the villages of Preznica - Taževo. The fire is moving towards Jasen, Angelov announced, adding that the Romanian "Spartan" was operating there, and a Croatian "Canader" is currently operating there, which may also be stopped by air traffic control due to worsening weather conditions in Skopje. 30 members of the Army work there.

The local Territorial Firefighting Unit of the Macedonian ship operates there.

Today, one police helicopter, one army helicopter were operating there, and at this moment a large police helicopter is operating there. The next fire is on the territory of the municipality of Čaška, which is also moving towards the villages of Gabrovnik - Mokreni, where a low-stemmed plant and a mixed forest are also burning in the village of Bogomila, for a more rational use of the aircraft, the pool has been set up where the helocopters fill water so they can do faster gusts. Also in the territory of the municipality of Chaska, we have another serious fire on the Goleshnica mountain, which is moving towards the villages of Gorno and Dolno Jabolcishte. Another fire in the territory of the municipality of Chaska is moving from the Pashin Bridge towards Chaska and may pose a problem.

In addition to them, aircraft have also been hired, unfortunately the Slovenian helicopters have withdrawn and are no longer here, and the Serbian helicopter will also leave tomorrow. Only one Montenegrin helicopter will remain here, as well as the Romanian "Spartan", says Angelov in the video address.
