News Named sources Outcome reported
  • Firefighters deployed four firefighting vehicles and a water tanker to a vegetation fire near Brăila.
  • Authorities said dry vegetation was burning, with no threat to nearby buildings, but heavy smoke forced officials to stop traffic and divert vehicles toward Galați through the Vidin district.
  • A separate fire in Dudașu Schelei the previous day blocked traffic and damaged telecommunications infrastructure.

A vegetation fire broke out Saturday near the exit from Brăila toward the DN 22B embankment, sending thick smoke across the road and prompting authorities to divert traffic toward Galați.

Firefighters from the Brăila Emergency Situations Inspectorate arrived with four firefighting vehicles and a water tanker. They said dry vegetation was burning, but the flames did not threaten nearby buildings.

Because of the heavy smoke, authorities stopped vehicle traffic from the intersection of Dorobanților Boulevard and Calea Galați to the city limits. Drivers heading toward Galați were redirected through the Vidin district.

The report also recalled another vegetation fire that broke out Friday in Dudașu Schelei. Traffic was blocked on the Drobeta-Turnu Severin bypass as firefighters worked to prevent the flames from reaching a wood depot. That fire also damaged a utility pole and telecommunications cables, leaving the village without internet.
