The blaze affected two standalone structures. There is no danger to populated areas, said the Regional Fire Safety Directorate in Plovdiv on Thursday afternoon.
A total of 16 fire engines and around 60 firefighters took part in bringing the fire under control, along with teams from the State Forestry Service (DGS) in Asenovgrad, Plovdiv and Parvomay, using three all-terrain vehicles and 10 staff members, and eight teams comprising 26 volunteers from various organizations.
Two helicopters from 24th Krumovo Air Base and 39 servicepersons from 4th Artillery Regiment in Asenovgrad contributed to the firefighting effort. Local farmers helped by using tractors to plough the ground and create firebreaks to limit the spread of the flames.
