Fires have not been extinguished in Gagra yet, - Davit Bganba, the head of the Gagra headquarters of the fire-rescue squad, told Sputnik.

"The fires have not been extinguished yet, because they are in the forest – in a large area. However, the residential area is not endangered. The rain did not help us much, it only slightly reduced the speed of the spread,” Bganba said.

According to him, it is too early to talk about the scale of the fire at this time, but it burnt about 100 hectares.
