The bare undergrowth in Hortobágy, near the Major in Faluvéghalma, caught fire on Monday afternoon, and the large-scale fire is still being extinguished by firefighters, a spokesman for the Hajdú-Bihar Disaster Management Directorate told MTI.
Nóra Papp-Kunkli said that the undergrowth in five hectares had caught fire in the afternoon.
Firefighters and water transporters came to the area from Hajdúnánás, Balmazújváros, Tiszaújváros, Tiszafüred, Karcag and Mezőkövesd. The spread of fire in a nature reserve limits the scope for intervention, the spokesman explained.
