No sign of fire victim after investigation, missing person report filed
Kumanovo, 6 August 2021 (MIA) – Remains of a fire victim haven’t been found after police thoroughly searched a house that burned down in a village in the Kumanovo region. A missing person report has been filed, the Interior Ministry (MoI) said.
On Thursday, machinery of the local public utility company was dispatched to clear up the house and its surrounding, which burned down alongside two nearby houses.
Several media reported that the missing person is in fact the first victim of the wildfires burning in parts of the country.
Crisis Management Center (CMC) Director Stojanche Angelov at a news conference yesterday offered condolences after a woman reportedly died in her house engulfed in flames in Kumanovo’s Chelopek village.
Two fires were reported on Wednesday in Chelopek. Firefighting teams responded to the fires with the second down burning house, premises and livestock.
