The fire that broke out last night on the Croatian island of Susak was completely extinguished after midnight. Firefighters stood guard throughout the night and the fire did not reignite. It is believed that the fire was caused by a fired signal rocket that fell in a difficult-to-access area and ignited grass, low vegetation, and maquis. Nearby settlements were not endangered. The fire was initially attempted to be extinguished by members of the Susak volunteer fire department, but they were unsuccessful and called for help from firefighters from Lošinj. Firefighters from Cres and Krk were ready to intervene but were not needed.
