Shock in Mezőszentgyörgy: Balaton village in flames 🔥

The professional firefighters of the Balaton region have once again proven their commitment: the balatonfűzfői and siófoki units rushed to Mezőszentgyörgy, where an outbuilding and the surrounding stubble caught fire. The fire quickly spread to two residential houses and several straw bales, causing serious damage in the settlement in Fejér county. 🔥

Six water jets are working against the flames on site by the Balaton units, joined by the Fejér county disaster management operational service. A Siófok water tender and a work machine support the intervention to prevent further spread in the windy, dry area.

It is reassuring for Balaton-side holidaymakers and locals alike that the fire departments around the lake can help neighboring regions so quickly and effectively. The incident shows how important regional cooperation is during the summer season, when similar fires can flare up at any time due to drought.

The disaster management continues to warn everyone in the Balaton area to handle open flames and the risk of stubble fires with extra caution. The presence of the Siófok and Balatonfűzfő firefighters once again guaranteed a rapid response. 🚒
