Because of the fires, Prime Minister Glavchev convenes the Security Council of the Council of Ministers

Bulgaria is burning. This is how the news on all TV channels has started in recent days. The situation remains alarming in the three regions of Yambol, Plovdiv and Haskovo, where fires burned thousands of acres of forest, pastures and houses. The footage of a burnt sheep farm with 240 sheep is shocking. The fires in Voden, Otets Paisievo, Harmanli, Bolyarovo, as well as other settlements make the viewers with broken hearts and helplessly watch the suffering of their fellow citizens. The statistics are extremely alarming. Outdated technology is a concern. Optimism is fueled only by the desire of firefighters and volunteers to cope with the fiery disaster that has engulfed the country.

Last week alone, a total of 1,176 fires were extinguished, of which 205 caused direct material damage, and 971 of the fires did not cause material damage. This is clear from the data of the General Directorate "Fire Safety and Protection of the Population". According to the latest figures released on July 18, between midnight and midnight on July 17, fire services responded to 245 reports of accidents and extinguished 184 fires. 15 are bogus calls.

Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev convenes the Security Council of the Council of Ministers today.

Deputies also exercised on the subject. But from the stand. There was a demand for resignations, and "Vazrazhdane" announced that they would submit a proposal for the convening of the CSNS to the president.

There is good news, however, and it is the imputed obligation of the government to provide funds for those affected by the fires.

The statistics for the past year 2023 indicate that a total of 33,974 fires occurred on the territory of the country, of which 26,510 caused material losses. There were a total of 16,561 rescue operations, with 1,966 false calls. 113 people died in fires, and 289 were injured.
