Veszprém is on fire! 🔥 Balaton menti tűzkatasztrófa

In Veszprém, at the northern gate of Lake Balaton, a serious fire broke out in a family house in Kádárka major, which immediately affects the settlements around the lake, as the professional firefighters from Pétfürdő and Balatonfűzfő are also on the scene. 🚒 The flames spread to the roof structure of another property integrated with the residential building, so the firefighters of the region are working with all their might to contain the problem.

In addition to the Veszprém firefighters, units from Pétfürdő and Balatonfűzfő on the Balaton shore also joined the rescue. Several gas cylinders were safely removed from the building, and extinguishing works are currently underway with eight water jets. The operation is coordinated by the Veszprém County Disaster Prevention Operations Service, which highlights the cohesion of the region in an emergency.

This is an important warning for summer season vacationers and locals in Balaton: the dry highlands and heatwaves increase the risk of fire for houses and vacation homes along the coast. Although there is no direct danger to the lake, the commitment of the firefighters can slow down the rapid response on the Balaton coast if something goes wrong elsewhere. Let's update our fire safety knowledge, check the gas cylinders! 🔥
