Firefighters put out 72 fires across Bulgaria in the past 24 hours. No one was killed or hurt, the Fire Safety and Civil Protection Directorate said in data published on its website.

Fire crews responded to 103 emergency calls.

In 16 of the fires there was direct material damage. Homes burned most often (8), followed by vehicles (4). There was one fire each in an industrial building, in forest areas, in outdoor structures and in other places.

In 56 fires there was no damage. Most of them, 31, broke out in dry grass, forest litter and bushes, and 19 in waste. One fire was in stubble fields and one in cooking appliances and chimneys, while four were of other types.

Firefighters carried out rescue and assistance operations 29 times, seven of them after vehicle crashes. Two calls turned out to be false alarms.
