Emergency fire teams have been mobilized in the Nesebar area due to a fire near the village of Orizare and the Poroy dam. The signal about the critical situation was personally reported by the mayor of the settlement.

According to experts from the Regional Fire Service in Burgas, the incident is related to the ignition of low shrub vegetation and dry grass. Two specialized teams were immediately sent to the field to control the spread of the fire.

At the time of initial reporting, specialists categorically state that there is no immediate threat to neighboring settlements. The quick and coordinated actions aim to completely extinguish the fire and prevent potential material damage.

Parallel to this emergency situation, another settlement - in the Belovo area, has declared a partial state of emergency due to extremely strong winds, which further complicate the fire situation.

Local authorities urge citizens to be extremely vigilant and follow all fire safety recommendations, especially during the summer season when the risk of such incidents is extremely high.
