Big fire in a popular destination in Croatia: The electricity does not work, all the shops in the vicinity have closed | TVNOVINY.sk – TVNOVINY.sk

Vacationers near the coast of the Croatian city of Pula are experiencing unpleasant moments. A big fire broke out here, which the firemen are unable to tame. The situation is complicated by the strong wind, which causes the flames to spread quickly, reports the Croatian station HRT. The fire broke out in the electricity substation. Most of the city is now without electricity. “They closed all the shops in the surrounding resorts. Gas stations are not working because there is no electricity,” a Czech tourist told Nova TV. Strong wind works against the firefighters. Civilians reportedly help too. Firefighting aircraft are circling and dropping water mostly above the nearby houses. #Pula #fire #pozar #Istra pic.twitter.com/ZbNSyOTlcN — Katarina Stano (@Katarina_Stano) July 9, 2022 Croatian media reports that the fire has already caused several property damages.
