The fire was extinguished. The causes of the fire and the damages are being clarified. A firefighter was slightly injured while putting out the fire.
The regional laboratory of the Executive Environment Agency has been carrying out 24-hour freezes for harmful gases in the air since last night.
No elevated carbon dioxide levels were found. Only slight contamination with dust particles.
Today at 6 and 11 o’clock such a measurement was made again, and again the values are the same, said Vasil Alexandrov, regional governor of Yambol.
