Vlorë hotel fire and injuries

Overview

A major fire occurred at the Brooklyn Hotel in the Lungomare area of Vlorë, Albania. The blaze originated in a first-floor bar-restaurant and spread to the second floor and the building's facade.

At least six people were injured, including five Kosovar citizens. Some victims escaped the smoke and flames by jumping from second-floor balconies, resulting in spinal fractures. Medical reports indicate severe injuries, with one female patient in critical condition due to burns covering nearly 100% of her body. Some victims required transport to Tirana for specialized treatment.

Police investigations, including a review of security camera footage, determined the fire was accidental, caused by an electrical outlet in a refrigerator within the restaurant area.
