- The owner of the warehouse is upset, probably his 22-year-old son is inside
- The only people who can provide up-to-date information – the security guard, who is inadequate from the shock and the man with severe burns in “Pirogov”
- It all happened after hours – there were people coming to pick up pyrotechnics for tomorrow’s event
- Part of the warehouses were gasified and the flow of gas was immediately stopped
The explosions took place in a warehouse of the Enigma company. According to data, this is an extremely high-tech warehouse that has all the protections. Numerous checks have been made, no problems have been found. Several prescriptions were issued, which were immediately removed. According to the data of the colleagues from the KOS, the last inspection was about two months ago, in December there was also a planned inspection, which was in relation to the technical means, and the violation at that time was found, which could not be the reason now. This was said by Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov.
We remind you that there have been explosions near Elin Pelin for 5 hours now. The evacuation started from the station.
He explained that the owner was already there. He is upset because his son, who is 22 years old, is most likely inside, Stoyanov also said. The only people who could give the most up-to-date information were the security guard, who was clueless about what happened and gave different information. The other person is the one in “Pirogov”, who is in a very serious and life-threatening condition. A father and daughter are in the hospital. The father is in a very serious condition – he is being intubated and his life is in danger, and the girl has 85% burns, which, according to the doctors, is incompatible with life, Stoyanov said.
It all happened after hours. Security is there 24/7, but there were people who were there because they came to pick up pyrotechnics they needed for an event tomorrow. That’s when everything happens, the interior minister added.
They probably moved the equipment from the corridors to warehouses in the offices and that’s where everything happened. No one can give exact information on how many people there are.
In one of the warehouses there was a so-called TNT equivalent, but it was fully secured – with concrete walls and a tin roof, in case of an explosion, it would be up. There is no point in any panic, the minister explained.
Part of the warehouses have been gasified and, parallel to the Ministry of Energy, the flow of gas has stopped. The fire at the food warehouse nearby has been extinguished.
An organization was made for the evacuated people. I think it is right to take more preventive measures, Stoyanov addressed one of the residents. The police went through all the houses and brought them out. Don’t worry – you will be provided with a place to stay for the night. As “24 Chasa” wrote, one of the Social Ministry’s centers in “Kremikovtsi” is ready to receive some of the evacuated people.
There was a danger that the fire would grow, and that is why clearings will be made.
The company has six warehouses and pyrotechnic equipment from China, India and a small part from Italy.
There is a drone on site, but everything is in smoke and almost nothing is visible.
