This afternoon, a massive fire broke out in the Rodoč neighborhood of Mostar, within the premises of the well-known company Interkomerc. Professional firefighting units from Mostar rushed to the scene, but a thick cloud of smoke, driven by strong winds, is spreading across the southern part of the city, causing panic among residents. Videos of the fire quickly spread on social media, showing the scale of the disaster in the largest city of Herzegovina.
Firefighters are battling the blaze that threatens to engulf a large part of the industrial complex. The strong wind worsens the situation by spreading smoke and hazardous particles throughout the area. Residents are fearful as the smoke is dense and breathing is difficult, and it is unclear how long the fight against the fire will last.
This fire is not just a local problem — it’s a wake-up call for all of us. How is it possible that such disasters happen in industrial zones without adequate safety measures? Is anyone responsible for this threat to people’s health and the environment? While firefighters work tirelessly, the question arises: how prepared and equipped are our services for such emergencies?
Meanwhile, social media is buzzing with comments and jokes about the situation, but also serious questions about safety and prevention. Some wonder if anything will change once the smoke finally clears, or if we will remain blind to the dangers lurking in industrial zones.
If you are in Mostar or nearby, take care of yourself and your loved ones. And for those far away, take a look at these scenes and think — how ready are we really to face such crises? And hey, if you have a good joke about smoke and fire, feel free to share it, because sometimes laughter is the best medicine in times like these.
