ZAGREB, Aug 14 (Hina) - A south-easterly wind has been feeding
flames on the north side of the island of Korcula Friday afternoon.
Canadairs have been battling the blazes as they have spread to very
hostile terrain.
Residential areas are not in danger, according to the government
Crisis Committee.
The fire on the island of Lastovo has been restricted, there are no
active flames, but fire-fighters are still keeping an eye on the
scorched ground.
A fire which broke out on Thursday near the village of Cerina, in the
coastal Split-Dalmatia County, was still active by 4pm Friday, and
fighting it has been made hard because of the difficult terrain.
Fire-fighters had to be transported to the location by
helicopters.
The blaze in Svilaja, in the Sibenik-Knin County, has been
restrained.
There have been no significant fires reported in the Zadar County on
Friday.
