Medvedja – Yesterday, at around noon, a fire broke out in the area of the village Sponce.  The low-growing plants were burning. Thanks to the response of two teams of firemen from Medvedja and Leskovac, the fire was localized and placed under control.  At around 1.40 pm, another fire broke out in the territory of the village of Sponce, in the part of the village located in the direction of Medvedja, which was also localized and put under control.

A small fire broke in the village of Gajtan, too. Low vegetation was on fire, firefighters from Lebane tackled it, so that it was put out.  

The competent authorities appeal to the citizens not to burn stubble and undergrowth on their plots, since high temperatures help the spreading of fire.
