Firefighters from Giurgiu and Bucharest have been battling a fire at a logistics center on the A1 for 15 hours, affecting 80,000 square meters and generating RO-Alert messages for locals.

The fire broke out at a warehouse of a logistics center in Giurgiu, where clothes and shoes were stored. Around 80 firefighters are intervening over a large area in difficult conditions due to dense smoke which has prompted RO-Alert messages to be issued for nine localities in Giurgiu and Ilfov counties. Fire-fighting operations continue and authorities are monitoring the situation to assess the damage. Traffic on the A1 highway was not affected.
