Two men died Thursday from carbon monoxide poisoning in two separate fires caused by reckless smoking.
Dorina Cruc, spokesperson for the Civil Protection Service, has told Info-Prim Neo both men were apparently inebriated when they fall asleep with their cigarettes lit.
The first case occurred in a summer kitchen in Balatina village, Glodeni district, where the 58-year-old owner died in smoldering bedding, with signs indicating that a burning cigarette was the most likely cause.
The second case occurred in a home in Parcova village, Edinet village, in similar circumstances and involved a 48-year-old man.
From the beginning of the year, there were recorded 1,592 fires across Moldova, which killed 108 persons. Reckless smoking accounted for nearly 300 fires.
