  • About 25 firefighters and 10 vehicles are maintaining a five-kilometre defensive line, supported by volunteers and Srbijašume workers.

A wildfire on Stolovi Mountain near Kraljevo has been brought under control after nearly a month of firefighting, Serbia’s RTS reported. Crews have established a final defensive line stretching about five kilometres from the summit of Čiker to the Maglašnica River.

Around 25 firefighters with 10 vehicles are working at the site, assisted by volunteer fire departments and workers from Srbijašume. Teams are entering a ravine to cut burned trees that could help the fire spread again.

Kraljevo Fire and Rescue Brigade commander Pero Luković said crews would not leave until every remaining wisp of smoke on Stolovi Mountain had been extinguished.

Conditions in Deliblato Sands are stable, but firefighters have not abandoned their posts. Wind remains a threat despite the improvement in the situation.

I hope we will localize and extinguish the fire very soon, but we will not return from the site until we put out every wisp of smoke on Stolovi Mountain.

— Pero LukovićThe Kraljevo brigade commander described the crews’ approach as the fire came under control.
