The homes are licensed by the Ministry of Social Affairs, it must control their activities. However, this home did not have a license. I found that out after the fire. One person died yesterday. Only quick reaction saved the people inside, otherwise this house could have burned down. This was stated by Rangel Markov, mayor of Bankya, on the air of Nova TV.
We remind you that yesterday in a fire an elderly person died and five were injured.
„No one has approached us about having a similar problem. We have no authority to deport these people. It is very unfortunate, it could have been our parents, relatives. These are elderly people, difficult to move, put on the third floor”, Markov also said.
Angel Mihailov was the first to call the emergency phone: “Tomislav says to me: “Dad, something is smoking”. I immediately reported to 112. I'm from Sofia, I haven't been here for 15 years. I have not heard of the existence of this home.”
