The fire burned three houses in the Karnobat village of Tserkovski. A firefighter was injured during the fight with the flames after a carrier beam fell on his arm. The 150 inhabitants of the village have been evacuated from their homes, and a mother with a little child has been saved at the last minute. Reported Darik.

She felt the smoke seconds before the flames swallowed her home, Mayor of Karnobat Georgi Dimitrov told Darik.

The fire broke out at 5:00 pm today. According to initial data, the element was caused by purposefully lit stubbles next of the village.
