The fire at a landfill in the village of Tsalapitsa near Plovdiv has been completely extinguished, but a team of fire-fighters with equipment remains there, Plovdiv Mayor Kostadin Dimitrov announced.
The air quality indicators in the city are good, according to the data of the two measuring stations of the Regional Inspectorate of Environment and Water. Therefore, the Regional Health Inspectorate cancelled the recommendations for wearing masks and limiting outdoor activities.
