While Croatia battles a fire above Kaštel Sućurac that has been localized but not fully extinguished, Bosnia and Herzegovina is not far behind – a new fire broke out in the municipality of Grude, near a solar power plant! Is this just a coincidence or a glaring warning sign that nature is burning due to human negligence and climate change?
In Croatia, the fire started on Saturday around 5 PM on Kozjak, near a small religious site. The cause? A technical fault on the power line supplying a mountain lodge. Yes, you read that right – an electrical fault sparked a forest fire! Firefighters have localized the blaze but have not yet fully put it out.
Meanwhile, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the fire erupted in the Grude municipality, near a solar power plant, which is even more concerning. High temperatures and strong winds helped the fire spread rapidly. The Armed Forces of BiH contributed with a helicopter in firefighting efforts.
These two fires in neighboring countries remind us how vulnerable we are to natural disasters that we often cause ourselves. Technical faults, climate change, irresponsible behavior – all lead to catastrophes that hit our nature and communities hard.
Will the authorities finally grasp the seriousness of the situation and invest in prevention and rapid response? Or will we keep watching nature burn, helplessly?
If you have a wild theory or noticed something strange about these fires, feel free to drop a comment. Maybe together we’ll uncover what’s really going on while the flames devour our forests!
