A wildfire injured three people and forced the evacuation of about 2,000 residents near the southern Albanian town of Delvina on Friday, APA reports citing Reuters.
"Three people have sustained burns and suffered asphyxiation," Delvina Deputy Mayor Brunilda Meleqi told Reuters by phone.
Six villages were evacuated, and a church and 10 uninhabited houses were destroyed by the blaze, she said.
The fire's intensity eased in the evening after two helicopters were deployed to assist firefighting efforts.
