Devastation of flames: car in Sármellék! 🔥

In Sármellék, in the popular holiday area of ​​the southern shore of Lake Balaton, a passenger car caught fire 🚒, which was engulfed in flames in a short time. The incident on Dózsa György Street may also affect local residents and tourists around the lake, as this village along the main road is a key junction in Balaton traffic.

The professional firefighters from Keszthely quickly arrived on the scene and extinguished the flames with a water jet. Remedial works are currently being carried out to eliminate the risk of backburn. Fortunately, there were no personal injuries, but the total destruction of the vehicle is a warning sign for vacationers and locals on the Balaton coast driving in the summer heat.

Sármellék, the settlement adjacent to Balatonmária, where the flyBalaton airport also operates, is a busy traffic point in summer: families on the beach, sailboats and cyclists rush through. This fire may even cause a temporary blockage in Dózsa György utca, which is located near highway 71, so it may affect journeys between Keszthely and Balatonlelle. Quick intervention is particularly important for the locals, as the small community of the village is based on the tranquility of the lakeside - such events remind us of the danger of fire in the dry summer season.

According to the statistics of the Balaton fire department, passenger cars catch fire frequently in the region due to the heat, so we recommend the readers: check their vehicles before leaving! Right in the middle of the beach season, this news emphasizes the importance of safety at Lake Balaton. 🔥
