“A very probable cause of a fire is negligence in handling an open flame. From the candle, the wood paneling was ignited, several sprays were heated, probably hair sprays and air fresheners, which caused a subsequent explosion, “said David Jirouš, a spokesman for the South Moravian fire brigade.

The intervention lasted over three hours. Four fire brigades took part in it. Due to the damaged statics, the house had to be stabilized according to the statics recommendations. “The intervention commander requested statics and other forces and resources needed to stabilize the buildings. We fastened one perimeter wall and supported the ceiling structure, “the spokesman specified.
The damage caused by the fire and the subsequent explosion is estimated at three hundred thousand crowns. The saved values are about two million crowns.
