The fire in the Gorica Karst had not even cooled down when the fire broke out on the edge of the karst near Socerbo on Tuesday evening. The fire is still not extinguished, but is under control, the STA news agency reported this morning. The biggest obstacle to the fire's eradication is the storm that forced firefighters to battle all day yesterday.
According to data from the RS Protection and Rescue Administration from Tuesday afternoon, the fire had an area of about 15 hectares, but according to the head of the intervention, David Hrvatin, this number increased slightly towards the evening. On the Italian side, two villages also had to be evacuated because of the fire. The latest fire is certain to further threaten the drinking water supply in Slovenian Istria.
It is interesting that no one is reporting on the cause of the fires, which have been particularly intense in Primorska this summer, despite the fact that most of the European Union has problems with them. While the regime's media and various influencers are looking for the cause of the fires in climate change and global warming, in the case of the latest fire in Socerbo, rumours are spreading that it all started with open burning, which is strictly forbidden at this time of year and which the locals observe. One of the possible causes of the fire is the littering of cigarette butts, a rather nasty habit even among Slovenian drivers, who throw still burning cigarettes out of open car windows. However, there is increasing speculation that the fires are also linked to increased migration.
