In the latest one in northeastern Kukes, a fire covered 1.5 hectares of forests at the Koretnik Mountain, some 10 kilometers from Kukes.
Firefighters and local residents joined efforts to stop it.
Authorities could not give reasons or causes of the fire but they also said an investigation had started.
