Throughout the night there were drone carrying out overflights every hour to monitor the whole situation, the helicopter is expected to overfly the region, Minister Stoyanov said further. After that a decision will be made whether the helicopter should join the efforts to extinguish the flames – mostly by cooling the area around the warehouse which is being monitored.
