SINJ AREA SINJ, Aug 30 (Hina) - A fire which is spreading in the area of Zelovo, Sinj (the Split hinterland), threatened houses in the hamlet of Domazet on Wednesday afternoon. The blaze came from the direction of Mt. Svilaja.
Residents in this mountainous village were using last drops of water from their cisterns to put the fire out. An additional difficulty for their endeavours is the fact that they have no tap water. Besides local fire-fighters, Croatian army troops and one fire-fighting plane arrived at the fire site to try bring the blaze under control. Sinj fire-fighters have contained another two fires in a broader area.(hina) ms
