A family in the village of Piatra, Orhei district, have lost their home yesterday, in a fire that caused the roof of the house to collapse.
Representatives from the Orhei Emergency Situations Department have told IPN that the roof of the house had been thatched with reed, causing it to burn very quickly. No one was harmed during the fire. Two children and their mother were inside the house when the fire broke out, but all of them managed to flee.
Sources from the Piatra Town Hall have stated that the husband was abroad for work. The family has another child, who was also at work, in Chișinău. The woman and the two children sought shelter in the house of a relative.
The cause of fire hasn’t been identified yet.
