A significant improvement in the situation was achieved by morning. Firefighters managed to save many buildings and ensure the safety of residents and tourists. Two people were slightly injured. The main cause was the hot, dry weather conditions resulting from climate change, which increased the frequency and extent of forest fires in the region.
