TRILJ TRILJ, June 25 (Hina) - A big forest fire re-erupted near the southern town of Trilj (the Split hinterland) on Sunday afternoon. After firefighters managed to put under control a fire which destroyed 75 hectares of grass, pine
and oak wood on Saturday, the fire again broke out at about 03.00 pm Sunday, at the area of Tijarica. So far about 30 hectares of bush and forest have burnt, and fire is spreading towards a local church and cemetery and an abandoned plant of "Cetinka". Local firefighters, supported by a helicopter, are trying to extinguish the fire. Unfortunately, a lack of water supplies in the main water pipe-line forces firefighters to fetch water from Trilj, 25 kilometres far from Tijarica.(hina) ms
