Sarajevo [Bosnia and Herzegovina], July 25: A massive wildfire that started Thursday in the forests of Prozor-Rama, southern Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), continues to spread across mountain terrain, local authorities said on Friday.
All local resources have been mobilized to protect homes, though no buildings are currently at risk. A second, smaller fire has also broken out, putting more pressure on firefighting teams.
Access to the fire zones is limited, and ground crews are struggling. A firefighting plane and a military helicopter are working to contain the blaze.
The Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina are actively assisting, and officials described the situation as "apocalyptic." The damage is still being assessed.
