Firefighters from Parvomai also extinguished bales of fodder in the land of the village of Iskra.

With their quick reaction, however, they managed to save 55 acres of agricultural crops and over 40 bales.

A report of a burning roof of an auxiliary building in Kaloyanovo raised the alarm for firefighters from Hisarya as well.

Shortly after 9 p.m. last night, a property owner sought specialist help after an electric grill caught fire.

The fire quickly engulfed a wooden structure, but since there was a building nearby with stored wheel skins, glues and wood, it was necessary to redeploy fire engines from Plovdiv.

The damage is to property, and the police in Hisarya will specify the reasons for the accident.

In seven places, firefighters extinguished burning dry grass, bushes, leaf litter and debris.
