Fire Rages Over the Quarry near Ognyanovo

A fire engulfed agricultural areas above the inert material quarry in the municipality of the village of Ognyanovo, local authorities report. The incident occurred shortly after 1 p.m. on Monday, when the flames began burning dry grasses and shrubs in the area.

The flames spread rapidly due to the strong wind and covered a large area, giving rescuers reason to act with efforts to contain the fire and extinguish the hotspots.

There are sections near agricultural plots and above the quarry, which further complicates firefighting efforts. Firefighters and rescue services are deployed on site to coordinate actions to control the blaze and protect surrounding areas.

Further information is expected regarding the size of the fire and the measures taken to extinguish it, as well as the potential impact on nearby agricultural parcels.
