Violent fire at a cabin in Straja / There were no tourists in the 12 accommodation places

A violent fire broke out Wednesday morning at a 12-bed cabin in the mountain resort of Straja, in the Jiu Valley. Several crews of military firefighters from Petroșani and Lupeni were mobilized to put out the fire, which engulfed the entire building.

When the rescuers arrived, the cabin, built largely of wood, was fully ablaze. The flames affected the ground floor, the two upper floors, and the attic. Fortunately, there were no tourists in the accommodation unit when the fire broke out, and no casualties were reported.

The fire was brought under control, and firefighters are continuing their intervention to extinguish the last remaining hotspots and remove the effects caused by the flames. Crews operating three high- and medium-capacity firefighting vehicles were deployed at the scene. An SMURD ambulance was also dispatched for any potential medical situations.

After the operations are completed, specialists are expected to establish the probable source of the fire and the circumstances in which it occurred.
