According to Dejan Logar of the Bovec Fire Brigade, firefighting efforts remain intensive as crews continue to address persistent underground hot spots, focusing particularly on the periphery of the blaze. Logar reported that while the size of the active fire has not expanded overnight, the surface area covered by the fire remains estimated at 12 to 13 hectares. He noted that the overall ground situation at the planja is currently stable.
The focus of the ongoing operation is containment and monitoring of subterranean risks associated with the large fireplace at Planja Bobo. To manage the scale of the incident, a significant multi-agency response has been mobilized. Currently, 99 firefighters are deployed to the site, supported by 25 specialized vehicles.
The coordinated effort involves personnel from numerous regional units, including the Bovec Fire Brigade, Tolmin Fire Brigade, Radovljica Fire Brigade, Kranj Fire Brigade, Cerkno Fire Brigade, Idrija Fire Brigade, and Mestna Fire Brigade. The sustained presence of these resources underscores the complexity of controlling the fire, which requires continuous vigilance against smoldering pockets beneath the surface of the planja. The consistent reporting of underground hot spots necessitates that crews maintain high alert levels, concentrating efforts along the edges of the fireplace area to ensure the complete suppression of all burning material.
The coordinated deployment aims to secure the site and prevent any recurrence of uncontrolled spread.
