BLATO, 8 Aug (Hina) - Despite enormous efforts, firefighters on the
island of Korcula are still unable to contain the fire which broke
out three days ago in southern and south-eastern parts of Blato.
The settlement is in smoke and the blaze has advanced to one km from
the village.
The situation is worst in the area of Greben.
According to Blato municipal head Branko Bacic, the fire stretches
over a 10 km line.
Two Canadair planes and 12 cisterns are used in putting the fire
under control. More than 800 volunteer firefighters and civil
defence members are participating in these operations.
The fire has done most damage to pine forests, olive groves and
vineyards.
