A specialized municipal commission in Balgarovo is starting a large-scale inventory of the damage caused by the devastating fire that engulfed thousands of acres of municipal and agricultural land. The purpose of the thorough inspection is to assess the full extent of the damage so that subsequent recovery measures can be taken.

Assessment of damages and financial support

The focus of the inspection will be on the municipal properties that were most severely affected by the fire. According to preliminary data, the flames destroyed nearly 4,000 acres of municipal land. In addition, the commission will thoroughly inspect all the affected infrastructure that was destroyed by the natural disaster. A detailed inspection of each property is to be carried out to determine its condition and the cost of the necessary restoration activities.

At the same time, the process of accepting applications from all affected property owners located in the "Loznitsite" villa zone has also begun. This step is of utmost importance as it gives the victims the opportunity to declare the damage caused and seek help. On-site inspections are to be carried out on all nearly 20 burned-out villas and houses in the area. Experts will individually assess the degree of destruction of each property.

The most severely affected homeowners will be able to apply for financial support. This assistance will be provided through the joint work of the Ministry of Social Affairs and the "Social Assistance" Agency. They will review the submitted applications and allocate funds to individuals and families who have lost their homes or properties in the flames. The support is aimed at helping the quick recovery of those affected by the tragedy and is an important step towards overcoming the consequences of the disaster.
