About eight hectares of undergrowth are burning in district XVIII., Budapest.
The fire also threatens residential buildings, the deputy spokesperson of the Metropolitan Disaster Management Directorate told MTI.
Fifteen vehicles and almost ninety firefighters are involved in extinguishing the fire on Kettős-Körös street. In addition to the undergrowth, bushes and trees also caught fire. Vaccination is made difficult by the heat and the fact that the area is divided and can only be accessed by dirt roads.
Based on the data of the National Disaster Management Directorate, due to the heat and drought, an average of one hundred fires break out in forests, fields, and grain fields every day, some of which destroy hundreds of hectares. On Thursday, a serious fire broke out in the Mecsek, in Pécs and Tatárszentgyörgy.
