Fire authorities declare elevated fire risk in 14 Slovak districts

Slovak fire authorities have declared elevated fire risk in 14 districts across the country due to dangerous weather conditions. The declaration prohibits the use of open flames, burning of vegetation, and lighting fires in areas where they could spread. These emergency measures are implemented when dry conditions, wind, and high temperatures create heightened wildfire danger, requiring strict fire safety protocols to prevent potential blazes that could threaten property and natural areas.
