The situation with the many burning fires in the country remains difficult, BNT reported.
Duty teams stayed to monitor the situation all night with the fire near the Plovdiv village of Otets Paisievo.
The fire there is partially contained, but there are still smoldering areas. Helicopters were pouring water over the area until late last night. Dozens of houses burned down in the Otets Paisievo villa area, and more than 15 people were forcibly evacuated. The area affected by the fire is huge, and the reasons for its occurrence are in the process of being clarified. At this time, volunteers are gathered to help put out the fire.
A strong wind rekindled the fire near the Simeonovgrad village of Konstantinovo last night. People were evacuated from the last houses. Cuts have been made to stop the fire. Many of the villagers took to the main road, fearing that the elements would enter their homes.
The big fire near Stara Zagora was brought under control. However, the partial state of emergency remains in effect. Tonight, teams remained on duty around the entire perimeter of the fire to ensure that the fire did not grow.
