ZAGREB, Aug 12 (Hina) - The State Information Centre reported Saturday a fire broke out around 2:30pm near Medvidja in the Benkovac municipality. The flames engulfed the dry grass, but as the terrain is difficult to approach, the
assistance of fire-fighting aeroplanes was requested. A fire which broke out Friday in the Slunj area (near the border with Bosnia-Herzegovina) has not been completely extinguished. The fire spread to undergrowth at first, and then engulfed the forest and nearby residential areas. The Slunj volunteers extinguished the flames in the residential areas, but other locations are unapproachable due to left-over mines.(hina) lml
