Firefighters spent the whole night pumping water from houses in Mala and Golema Recica
Last night, the Tetovo firefighters had over 20 calls for interventions, i.e. pumping water from flooded houses, yards, basements and streets. Most of the flooded houses are in the villages of Mala Recica and Golema Recica. The intense rain lasted for several hours, and this morning there is no precipitation.
- We had more than 20 calls from citizens that their houses, yards, basements were flooded. Even the firemen in Tetovo intervene at the subs at the exit of the city or inside the city where there are two such subs - said Avni Ameti, commander of the Tetovo Territorial Fire Fighting Unit.
As Amethi explained, several critical points are flooded where there are constant problems during more intense rain.
- There were six such points in the city of Tetovo, but the municipality intervened, now we have three critical points. These are the Dereboj settlement, the underpass to Falishe and the villages of Mala and Golema Recica. In the past, it was not predicted how it will be in 10 or 20 years. So we have small storm sewer pipes laid for 20 houses, and now there are 50 houses each. It is good that the municipality of Tetovo is making plans for these critical places for the intervention of the underground infrastructure - said Ameti.
During the course of yesterday, the firefighters also pulled out several vehicles that got stuck near the flooded underpasses.
