Firefighters from ISU Argeș intervened on the scene urgently, and mobilized a consistent device to limit the effects of the fire. The intervention included three water and foam extinguishing vehicles, an intervention and rescue vehicle from height, as well as a qualified first aid SMURD ambulance.
Thanks to the quick intervention of the crews, the fire was contained before it spread to other commercial premises or nearby buildings, and was subsequently completely extinguished.
Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
An investigation will determine the cause of the fire.
We remind you that, a month ago, the firemen intervened urgently to extinguish a fire at a tire warehouse in Bragadiru, resulting in injuries, including two firemen with dislocation and one person with slight burns on the hand.
Another major fire broke out, also in May, at a warehouse in Chiajna, affecting approximately 4,000 square meters.
