A total of 131 fires were extinguished in Bulgaria during the past 24 hours, the General Directorate of Fire Safety and Protection of the Population announced on its website. Firefighters responded to 203 reports of accidents. One person died and two were injured in the fires.

As a result of the heavy rains in the North-West, the government is taking additional preventive measures to protect the life and health of the population, reports the press center of the Council of Ministers.

State of emergency has been declared in Bulgaria's northwestern municipalities of Mizia and Hayredin, both in the region of Vratsa, due to overflowing dams.
