This morning, a large fire broke out in the former tobacco warehouse in Tetovo, which had for some time been used as a storage space for building insulation materials.

So far, 3 citizens are reported to have been injured.

For more than 3 hours, the police, army, and firefighters along with their colleagues from Gostivar and Skopje, have been working to put down the flames.

The localization of the fire has been made possible whereas a helicopter has been sent to help the rescue teams on-site from the air.

Police have limited the circulation of citizens in this area as well as issued an order to stop all children from going to schools and kindergartens.
