Fire breaks out in new residential compound in Bucharest, Romania

A fire started in Confort City, a residential compound in the Bucharest's sector 3. The fire started on the 10th floor of the residential block, with flames engulfing over 400 sqm and the area entirely made of wood.

Firefighters arrived at the scene and are struggling to put out the fire. Firefighters said there was not enough water available to put out the fire.

The attic of the block has completely collapsed, but nobody was injured. Most of the apartments in the compound, built by Romanian investors the Negoita brothers, were bought using bank loans. People who live in the block complained of issues with electricity in the block, and fear the fire might have been caused by an electrical fault. The block has 300 apartments and four stairways, at time of writing all of the upper floors are in flames. - to be updated-
