Serbian firefighters battling fires in the [[w:Kuršumlija|Kuršumlija]] area, near the administrative line with [[w:Kosovo|Kosovo]] have reportedly been shot at by Albanians from the Podujevo municipality in Kosovo. Since then, firefighters were denied access to the area.

“Firefighters heard automatic gunfire and temporarily withdrew from the area, while the fire began to spread nearer to the Kuršumlija villages,” a forestry engineer said.
