The fire in the village is mastered. On Wednesday, the situation was extremely difficult. There were nearly 25 teams of the fire brigade, an army helicopter, volunteers and forestry officials on the ground. People were evacuated by us, there was a large part of them who refused to leave their homes. For this reason, they were forcibly removed. This was stated by Kalin Stoyanov at a briefing in the Ministry of the Interior, quoted by Nova TV.
"Analyzing the facts, we turned to our colleagues from Turkey, who returned the gesture we made to them during the severe earthquake there. At the same time, the neighboring villages - Sharkovo, Kraynovo and especially Gorska Polyana - where the "Strandja" gas transmission station is located, were secured. Many clearings have been built", he added.
According to the minister, the description of the damage will begin today.
"There are 35 houses affected, of which 20 are uninhabitable. 23 cars and 71 employees were involved in the action," stated the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Dimitar Kangaljiev.
Kangaldzhiev noted that they will analyze and assess whether to include another military helicopter.
"There is no point in the order declaring a state of emergency that says the national district notification system and BG ALERT. This is most likely because during a fire there is no electricity and no mobile coverage. Of course, we will analyze all these things in order to be able to use the system," the MIA team also noted at the briefing.
