More than 10 fire brigades from Yambol, Sliven, Bourgas and Haskovo are on the scene. A helicopter from the Krumovo airbase also joined the firefighters. At the moment there are no reports of injuries.

A partial state of emergency has been declared in the area. On the orders of Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov, gendarmerie water engines will be used to extinguish the fire in the village area.
