It is still not certainly known what is the cause of these fires, even though it is known how much damage it caused, and how many firefighters are participating in the extinguishing.

Even though locals point on the possibility that the fires could be intentional, Split police say that they can't talk about the causes yet.

- The investigation can be performed only when the fire is out. We can't talk about its origin. Police are working on reports from the citizens, and it will show if they are true - said Ana Cepic from Split police for HINA.

Since the wind has calmed, from Tuesday 6 AM, firefighting forces were engaged again in putting out the fires on Split area.
