“This morning, in the Tohani region”, in the province of Prahova, “a fire broke out in a place where accommodation and food are provided,” local rescue services wrote in a Facebook message.
Firefighters among the deadthey identified a minor who lost his life“, they clarified.
«The extinguishing operation was hindered by the fact that the fire spread to the entire buildingin an area of more than 1,000 square meters”, it became known from the rescuers, who released images of the facilities engulfed in flames.
They explained to AFP that they carried out a “background check” of the facilities.
The hostel had not “taken steps” to obtain a “fire protection certificate” after irregularities were found during an audit in 2019.
