“Gradually, the situation is normalizing. This was said in the morning block of BNT, the director of the Main Directorate “Fire Safety and Protection of the Population”, Chief Commissioner Alexander Zhartov in the morning block. From his words, it became clear that for the last 24 hours there were 36 signals related to the consequences of meteorological phenomena, and they were mainly in Gabrovo and Veliko Tarnovo, and only 9 of the signals were about fallen trees in Plovdiv.
He assured that the river levels are starting to decrease gradually. “A decrease in the Yantra River is being observed on the territory of the Ruse region. This stage of recovery from the damage will take a long time,” the director of the fire department also reported.
Why was evacuation necessary?
Chief Commissioner Zhartov drew attention to the fact that the fire department focused on the protection of human life.
That is why it was necessary to evacuate the people for a preventive purpose. “The most critical situation was with the boy who had tried to take pictures in the village in Velikotarnovsko and there was an immediate danger to his life and health,” Chief Commissioner Zhartov added.
It became clear that not everyone wanted to evacuate, but the firefighters handled the situation.
“In general, the culture of prevention is not particularly high. Usually, after such events, we relatively quickly forget that they happened,” added chief commissioner Zhartov. Flooded, but without water: Thousands of people in Sevlievo are waiting for the replacement of water pipes
