“The fire apparently occurred during the finishing works within ZEVO Malešice on the third, just completed line, which has not yet been put into operation. The rubberized parts have been ignited, the waste is not burning, the people of Prague do not have to be afraid. We recommend not to ventilate people in the vicinity, “said Radim Mana, a spokesman for the Prague services, adding that more detailed information on the extent of the damage will not be known until Thursday morning. “I would like to mention that this event went unnoticed,” Mana added.
“Fortunately, municipal waste is not burning at the moment, but rubber seals. Please do not ventilate. I’m going to the place, “Mayor Zdeněk Hřib told the people of Prague.
