A large wildfire has erupted Tuesday around noon on the Vitosha Mountain just outside Bulgaria's capital Sofia.
Firefighters have been alerted by citizens about a blaze in the Mecha Polyana (Bear's Glade) area between the Aleko center and the Bistrishko Branishte reserve in the mountain.
The billowing smoke, fanned by high winds, is clearly visible from Sofia, which is located on Vitosha's northern foothills.
Bulgaria's firefigthing service has reported that the blaze is hard to tackle due to the terrain and windy conditions.
70 firefighters and foresters have been sent to the location, which currently encompasses some 10 acres of alpine grassland and pine forest.
Last Thursday firefighters managed to quench a similar wildfire that erupted in the area of Vitoshko Lale ski runway.
The July wildfire coincided with largescale protests against amendments to Bulgaria's Forestry Act, which citizens said were tailored to benefit investors such as the Vitosha Ski company, which had announced intentions to expand activities in areas of protected nature.
