Critical Situation in Burgas: Dzartov on Floods and Problems

Chief Commissioner Alexander Dzartov, Director of the General Directorate "Fire Safety and Protection of the Population", issued a worrying signal about the critical points in the country that are being tested by the deteriorating weather. The events reveal challenges that require immediate reaction and coordination of efforts.

"As a result of the heavy rainfall, the situation in the territory, mainly in the Burgas region, is still difficult", the chief commissioner emphasized. This is the region that is currently bearing the brunt of the elements. The complications are obvious, and the responsible institutions are working hard to control the situation.

Dzartov added: "There are difficulties regarding movement in the area of Tsarevo, Primorsko, Sozopol." In these picturesque but vulnerable coastal areas, the problems with transport hinder both the local residents and everyone who is in the region.

For this reason, citizens are appealed not to travel in this area, as well as in the territory of the city of Burgas itself. The decision is dictated by safety considerations, and the authorities insistently call for responsibility and cooperation from the population.

With a special emphasis on the complications, Dzartov shared: "Unfortunately, we still have no access to the villa zone "Chernitsite", and currently a car is traveling that has off-road capability, which allows it to move on water. The goal is to be able to reach 4-5 people, from whom we have a call for the need for evacuation." This alarming information directs attention to the most affected citizens and the need for urgent help. It is obvious that the rescue teams are mobilizing with all available resources.

There is another problem, revealed by Dzartov: "We still have no confirmed information, but we have a complication of the situation in Transko due to fallen trees, but we are about to find out exactly what the situation is." This signals an increasing number of affected areas and the need for damage assessment and planning of subsequent actions.

In an attempt to prevent larger disasters, Dzartov emphasized: "The early warning system was activated twice by the mayor of Burgas, as well as by the regional governor." The existence of a functioning early warning system is of key importance for reducing the impact of disasters and provides an opportunity for evacuation of the population.

In conclusion, the chief commissioner emphasizes the efforts of the rescue teams: "There is no delay of the fire department teams, given that we knew that bad weather was coming. The teams in the Burgas region were reinforced. In practice, the teams were twice as many as under normal circumstances." The institutions are prepared and mobilized to respond to the challenges facing the country.
