Dramatic footage of a spreading fire shook the tranquility of Obruchishte village in the afternoon hours, forcing municipal authorities to take immediate measures to control the critical situation.
Official sources from the local administration confirmed the scale of the natural disaster. Deputy Mayor Emilia Gocheva provided initial information about the development of the fire, which was quickly spreading in rural areas.
According to expert assessments by local authorities, the fire initially engulfed one end of the settlement, directly threatening residential buildings. The critical moment occurred when additional fire centers appeared near a pine forest area, which further complicated firefighting efforts.
Meteorological conditions contributed to the spread of the disaster - strong winds created exceptional challenges for firefighting teams. Despite the difficult circumstances, rescue services mobilized significant technical resources to control the situation.
Of key importance is Emilia Gocheva's statement that at the present moment, the lives of local residents are not directly threatened. "We continue to fight the fire," the deputy mayor said emphatically, emphasizing the professionalism and readiness of rescue services.
The municipality officially declared a partial state of emergency, which allows for taking extraordinary measures and mobilizing additional resources to deal with the emergency situation.
