The fires in the south-western regions of Bulgaria continue, as more than 15,000 decares of forests have already burned. The battle with the fire has been going on for two weeks and at the moment it is active only on the territory of the "Ali Botush" reserve, which is quite inaccessible.
A clearing is being made in order to stop the fire from spreading. Aircraft will be used as the terrain is rugged and dangerous for people. In addition to the Bulgarian and Swedish helicopters, under the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, two Spanish "Canadair" aircraft will be helping in extinguishing the fire.
In the Greek part of Slavyanka Mountain, the fire continues to rage, as there is a danger of it crossing the border with Bulgaria again.
