History
At 10:20 on 30 June 2019, the fire department JVP Rijeka received a call about a fire along the Škrljevo-Meja section of the railway. The fire had been started by sparks from a train, and spread over a large area despite the efforts of the JVP Rijeka under commander Hinko Mance combined with aid from volunteer fire departments of Škrljevo, Sušak, Drenova, Zlobin, Bakar, Kostrena and Čavle. At 12:34, two HV Canadairs had to be called in, arriving at 13:32. The fire was localised by 14:30, but 15 hectares (37 acres) burned.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Škrljevo”, the useful work is to connect “settlement in the Town of Bakar, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3443449. VIAF identifies the subject as 157085529. The Library of Congress control number is n78040489. Authority coordinates are 45.321, 14.534. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011, 1667, 1907 and 2019.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
