According to preliminary investigations, the second fire was caused by a heater.
Given the low temperatures, the Civil Protection and Emergencies Service will step up its activities from January 30. The number of groups that will intervene in fires and emergencies will be doubled. Visits may be paid to apartment buildings to provide the people with relevant information.
