The Bulgarian authorities have evacuated the residents of the village of Vlahi in southwestern Bulgaria because of the fire, which keeps raging in the Kresna gorge for the fifth day now. The evacuation of the population in Vlahi began at 2 pm, regional governor Bisser Mihaylov announced.
The southern front of the fire near the town of Kresna continues burning. A state of emergency has been declared in the municipality.
