Emergency services battle multiple wildfires across Bosnia as military helicopters continue drops

Operations remained intensive in the Mostar area, where firefighters responded to four separate incidents involving waste, grass, and low vegetation across Bisce Polje, Buna, Gornja Jasenica, and Juzni Logor. In Capljina, crews tackled six distinct callouts, extinguishing fires in Grabovina, Visici, Knez Domagoj Street, and Bjelave alongside rubbish fires in Klepci and Celjevo.

Citluk brigades intervened in four locations, including Blatnica na Trtlama, Sluzuj, Medjugorje, and a container fire in Blizanci. Two separate incidents kept teams busy in Prozor-Rama on Makljen and near Paklin, while Konjic firefighters continued monitoring smouldering tree stumps and debris near Brdjani following earlier blazes.

Meanwhile, aviation units from the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina extended their campaign, deploying helicopters to assist ground teams in the Bosansko Grahovo and Grmec regions near Bosanski Petrovac, alongside operations in Nevesinje. Ministry officials praised the crews for tackling notoriously difficult terrain.

Further south, a rapidly spreading fire between Trebinje and Dubrovnik threatened local property overnight after being whipped up by strong winds. Units from Trebinje, Zupa Dubrovacka, and Ravno managed to push back the flames and secure the Trebinje-Dubrovnik roadway, keeping the key transit route clear as ground crews monitor remaining hot spots near Bobovista, Zaplanik, and Orah.
