Dubovica on the southern island of Hvar on 29 July and which became
re-active on Sunday morning, were contained on Sunday evening, the
National Fire Centre at Divulje, outside Split, reported this
evening. #L#
About 500 fire-fighters with 48 vehicles, four fire-fighting
planes and one air-tractor were engaged in efforts to bring the
blazes under control.
Another wild-fire, which brought out at Mocilo, above Mirac, on the
island of Brac, has been under control, according to the latest
report. However, continuous changes of winds' directions can re-
activate flames on the two islands.
One hundred and ninety five (195) fire-fighters with 47 vehicles,
and four aircraft fought with the blaze on Brac.
The fire, which broke out on the island of Bisevo on 30 July, was
localised, and 20 fire-fighters are guarding the area to prevent
the re-activation of the blaze.
