Dozens of firefighters have been battling a massive fire at a plastic waste dump in Rynholc near Kladno since early Monday evening. It is burning on an area of approximately 200 by 200 metres. A thick black column of smoke could be seen from all over Prague and much of the Central Bohemian Region.

Na skládke voľne uložených plastov začalo horieť po 18:00. Hasiči na sieti X uviedli, že ide o rozlohu približne 200 krát 200 metrov a odpad je uložený do výšky okolo päť metrov.

„Zasahuje viac ako 36 jednotiek a ďalšie sú na ceste. Napriek tomu sa zatiaľ nedarí dostať požiar pod kontrolu,“ informovali večer s tým, že päť hasičov je zranených - došlo u nich k prehriatiu. Hasenie komplikujú aj vysoké teploty.
