Mariovo region wildfires in North Macedonia

Overview

Large-scale wildfires in the Mariovo region of North Macedonia caused significant destruction, specifically in the village of Chanishte, where over 15 houses and several farm buildings were destroyed. During the initial stages, the fire line reached approximately 20 kilometers in length, threatening the village of Krushevica. Emergency response efforts included firefighters, specialized rescue teams, and volunteers, though aerial firefighting faced difficulties due to wind conditions.

After seven days of continuous firefighting, the blaze was fully extinguished and brought under complete control. The operation involved a massive mobilization of the Army, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and various local firefighting units and volunteers. While the primary Mariovo fire was contained, crews also localized other outbreaks in Mazuchishte, Malo Konjari, and Golemo Konjari. Authorities have advised continued vigilance due to the risk of new fires caused by extreme heat and dry conditions.
