The trees were burning, low bushes and grass, and there was reduced visibility in that part of the city due to thick smoke.

There were many firetrucks and the situation was worsened by the strong north wind.

The fire broke out this morning at Aluminum Combine, near the wooden barracks, and fire was put out by members of the Protection Service of Podgorica, six fire units with 14 firefighters.

Firefighters had more work two days before when fire broke out on Ljubovic hill. The members of the Protection service said that wind is a major problem and it is feared that the blaze could erupt again.
