Firefighters have rushed to contain a grass fire in Gozo on Saturday, with footage and photos shared to social media showing the flames veering dangerously close to the Mgarr harbour.
As the island enters the first heatwave of the summer 2022 season, police were notified about the flames at 2pm. No one has been reported injured and the authorities are doing all the can to contain the blaze.
Such grassfires are common in Malta as the heatwaves are known to reach blistering temperatures and winds carrying the blazes further. This is a developing story.
