A man has been detained following a fire that burned approximately 50 acres of dry grass in the Plevensko region of Bulgaria. The incident occurred in the village of Krushovitsa, near the locality known as "Balastriyata," according to reports from the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Pleven. The fire was reported to the police in Dolni Dubnik around 12:05 PM on the previous day. Firefighters and police units were dispatched to the scene immediately upon receiving the alert.
The area affected by the fire is located at the edge of the village heading towards Sadovec. It covers roughly 100 acres, but about half of this area—approximately 50 acres of dry grass—was completely destroyed by the flames. The local police have confirmed that a 45-year-old man has been taken into custody as a suspect in connection with the fire. Authorities have stated that he is being investigated for his involvement in starting the blaze. The investigation is ongoing, and both the duty investigating officer and the duty prosecutor from the Pleven District Prosecutor's Office have been informed about the case.
In addition to this specific incident, firefighters in the Pleven region have dealt with seven other fires over the past 24 hours. These fires were reported in areas including Krushovitsa, Metchka, Brest, Karlovo Street in Pleven, and Cherven Bryag. According to the police, these incidents were caused by negligence involving open flame. Across the country, a total of 113 fires were extinguished during the last 24-hour period, as reported by the Main Directorate for Fire Safety and Protection of the Population under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported in any of these incidents. Eighteen of the fires resulted in material damage, with eight of them occurring within residential buildings.
Meanwhile, another fire broke out in an unharvested field behind a store called "Zora" in Starazagora. This incident was reported to the police at 6:48 PM. The fire spread to the southern part of the area behind the shop. Three firefighting teams were deployed to the scene, and the fire has now been contained, though efforts continue to fully extinguish it. No one was injured, and there is currently no threat to nearby buildings or structures.
This follows a significant fire that occurred at the end of last month at a waste disposal site in Starazagora. That incident required the involvement of eight firefighting teams, along with heavy chain equipment and water carriers from the municipal administration. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by local authorities in managing and preventing wildfires, particularly during periods of high risk due to dry conditions and human activity.
Fire incidents such as these underscore the importance of public awareness regarding fire safety and the potential consequences of careless handling of open flames. As investigations continue into the causes of these fires, officials are likely to emphasize the need for greater vigilance and adherence to safety protocols to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The focus will remain on identifying the root causes of each incident and implementing measures to reduce the frequency and impact of such events.
