At the moment, eight teams of the Directorate continue work. There were 43 signals received on phone 112, as 19 of them were processed during the night.

Wind with hurricane-strong gusts also hit Bansko last night, BTA has reported. There are also many fallen trees. During the past night, the directorate of the Pirin National Park, the fire department and the municipality created teams to immediately clear all the fallen trees that are obstructing traffic. Mayor Stoycho Banenski issued an appeal for people to stay in their homes and not to go out, as well as not to park cars under trees and poles. It is currently raining in Bansko, but the situation is calm.
