Minister Hoxha with the leaders of the Fire Service: Intentional arson is a

The Minister of Interior, Ervin Hoxha, requested that measures be taken for prevention, rapid and efficient intervention in cases of fires, but also for the identification and punishment of any perpetrator of intentional arson.

During the meeting with 61 Fire Service leaders in the country, Minister Hoxha stated that "data from recent years show us that in many cases, fires are directly caused by the careless or intentionally harmful activity of people themselves."

These messages were given during a meeting held near the premises of the Fire Station in Kinostudio, Tirana, attended by the Prefect of Tirana, leaders of the National Civil Protection Agency and other emergency officials, etc.

Speaking about the problems of deliberate arsons, the Minister of Interior requested that every case be investigated and that anyone who, intentionally or negligently, causes a fire be prosecuted. Regarding measures to deal with the problems during the summer season, the Minister emphasized cooperation between different structures and prevention.

At the same time, Minister Hoxha announced that work is being done to equip firefighting structures with the most appropriate tools and working environments.

" No case should and will not remain without accountability. Fire is not just a natural phenomenon, it is often a criminal act. Faced with the challenges of fires, we need more than just reaction. Prevention is needed. For this, we need close cooperation with all local emergency structures, with administrative units, with mayors, with civil society and the citizens themselves. The Ministry of Interior will provide all institutional support to equip you with the necessary tools, information and support. New stations, like the one where we are holding this meeting today, here at Kinostudio will be added. New tools will be provided, through the state budget, municipal funds or donors. The latter are present and I want to express my gratitude for their valuable contribution. Let us cooperate closely, because only united can we be effective in protecting the environment, life and property of citizens ", said the Minister of Interior./ CNA
