“As far as I can see, the damage to the house seems to be not too bad,” says the spokesman for the security region. “But I can’t see what it’s like inside, after all the fire water.”
The house next to the burning house is also sprayed with water to prevent the fire from spreading further. Asbestos may have been released by the fire. “Asbestos-suspicious material has been found on the plots around the building,” said the spokesman. “But an expert has to look at that first.”
