Two people died in a house fire on Sunday in Hajdú-Bihar, a spokesman for the regional disaster management director said.
According to Nóra Papp-Kunkli, at dawn, a ten-square-meter building in Tulipán Street in Debrecen was completely on fire. Firefighters extinguished the flames from several sides, and when they searched the building, they found an elderly man who they could no longer help.
On Sunday morning, a fire broke out in Zrínyi Street in Hajdúsámson as well: the nine-square-meter room of a sixty-square-meter family house burned to its full potential. A man was found in the room whose life could no longer be saved, the spokesman said.
Disaster management investigates the cause of fires in both Hajdú-Bihar counties.
As they write, an average of twenty flats are set on fire every day, although all of these could be prevented with a little care. Smoke detectors can prevent fires by signaling at the very beginning when there is still time to act, so tragedies can be prevented and firefighters can save more lives.
