A fire broke out on Monday morning in a recreation area in Kostešta, Vilča county, and two bungalows and a firewood shed were burned before the arrival of firefighters, representatives of the Emergency Situations Inspectorate (ISU) of Vilča, reported Agerpres.

According to the quoted source, the intervention was quite difficult as there was no water in the area, but luckily there were no tourists.

“This morning, around 01:36, after calling 112, military firefighters of Valcheny were asked to put out a fire in a recreation area (glamping) in the town of Costesti. Forces from the fire department of the city of Rymnik-Vilcha and the work stations of Khorez and Buneshta were urgently dispatched with three fire engines with water and foam. At the time of the arrival of the emergency crews, two bungalows and an annex were on fire. Although the access was made in difficult conditions and there was no water in the area, the firefighters managed to contain and extinguish the fire within the established limits, thus saving the neighboring buildings,” said ISU Vâlcea spokesperson Sorin Albinaru.

The probable cause of the fire was determined to be a short circuit in the electrical network.
