According to preliminary data, about 30 apartments were affected by the flames, which are suspected to have started on the first floor of a business.
After the large fire that engulfed the "Farmacia 10" building in Tirana near the QSUT, the police have arrested 4 people, one of them is the manager of the Big Market, who was located on the first floor, where the fire is suspected to have started.
The fire is suspected to have started from the Big Market area on the first floor. It is suspected that several cardboard boxes next to the facade of the building were burned and the flames then spread rapidly throughout the building.
The building's administrator has also been arrested, while it is learned that the builder of the complex has been declared wanted.
The cause of the fire that burned and destroyed 30 apartments has not yet been officially determined.
Prime Minister Edi Rama also reacted to the event on social media.
Rama said that the damaged building will be completely rebuilt by the builder himself, emphasizing that, according to preliminary data, the cause of the fire is not related to the quality of construction.
He also underlined that affected citizens will not be left to face the consequences alone, adding that this case highlights the importance of securing homes against disasters.
"The palace that burned down yesterday in Tirana will be rebuilt 100% by the builder himself, despite the fact that according to preliminary data the cause of the fire has nothing to do with the construction itself! Because we cannot leave the damaged people alone in their property and on the other hand, taxpayers cannot pay for a damage that should have been paid by insurance, a meaningful case for everyone to understand that home insurance against disasters is necessary.
"However, I tell all the affected families to feel calm from this point of view and I wish them only health, thanking from the bottom of my heart the firefighters and law enforcement for their heroic work in saving all the endangered lives," Rama wrote.

Vleresoni deklaraten e kryeministrit: Demet ne pallat do rindertohen nga ndertuesi!!!! Shkaku i zjarrit nuk ka lidhje me ndertimin...shkaku i zjarrit nuk lidhet me cilesine e dertimit!? Pyetja per kryeministrin: Sa raste ka qe kane rene zjarre ne apartamente banimi shumekateshe dhe zjarri eshte lokalizuar dhe nuk eshte perhapur, sepse nuk eshte perdorur nga ai leshi i mikut te kryeministrit per izolim te jashtem. U dogj vite me pare ne fasaden e jashte nje pallat me lesh te tillle ...po pse po lejohet persesri ky leshi???? Apo per miqte dhe oligarket e qeverise nuk ka ligje e rregulla????
Përfaqësuesi mafies ndërtimit tha pak a shumë pse nuk u siguruat. Ndërtimi është perfekt. Po zjarrfikëset që nuk janë pajisur me shkallë, po veshja e godinës me material të djegshëm, po mungesa e kontrollit. Po cirku me helikopterë që donin të fiknin fasadën..
Po godina ishte e siguruar ne raste te fatkeqesive natyrore, ose aksidenteve te tilla qofte edhe nga pakujdesia? Pse me urdhera nga lart se kush duhet ta ndertoje, pa u bere nje vleresim zyrtar ne rastin ne fjale?
Eshte detyre e shtetit (Institutit te Ndertimit i cili duhet te certifikoje cdo material qe futet ne vend dhe perdoret ne ndertim.Eshte detyre eshtetit qe duhet te kete kushte teknike dhe eshte pa to qe nga viti 1989. Pse nuk u denua asnjeri per pallatet e demtuara nga termeti? Se nuk ka kushte teknike dhe eshte e veshtire te percaktohet faji. Pra kemi shtet mosperfilles per nje nga aktivitetet me te rendesishme per qytetaret qee eshte ndertimi.
