Around 4:00 yesterday, a fire broke out in a Novgrad warehouse, quickly engulfing the facility. By the time firefighters had arrived, the blaze had engulfed the whole building. Several fire brigades from all across the city held positions around the fire until it finally burned out at 17:00. The warehouse was located in the Port of Novgrad, an important hub of commerce. Thankfully, the blaze did not reach any nearby shipping containers or other warehouses.
"The whole building burned down. But we're just glad that nobody's injured, that the fire didn't spread, that everybody gets to go home safe. We're just glad for that," says Ivica Rajić of the South Novgrad Fire Brigade.
Officials have not yet determined the cause of the fire and an investigation is underway.
