Fire in a residential building in Sofia

The flames were first seen by people from a neighboring gaming hall.

They called 112 and the owner of the site.

Firefighters responded in less than 20 minutes, almost as long as the owner Plamen Gospodinov arrived.

"It happened at 4 o'clock in the morning, and our first suspicions were that it was short-lived because they said that the restaurant was burning in the back.

We thought it was in the back, "he told Nova TV.

After the flames were extinguished, Plamen Gospodinov realized that the fire was intentional.

Firefighters found a plastic tube containing a small amount of gasoline near the windows of the restaurant. 

"It was found that it was flooded with gasoline through the channels of the sliding windows and the garden in front was flooded, but the tube was left.

It smelled strongly of gasoline and in general the damage is total, "said Gospodinov.

He says he has not received any threats.

He has been in the industry for a long time and has been on good terms with all his colleagues.
