Czech fire brigade reports sharp rise in the number of fires during recent warm weather

Czech fire fighters had to deal with more than four hundred fires over the weekend, three times the average amount. A spokesman for the Czech fire brigade told the Czech Press Agency on Monday that the fires had caused four and a half million crowns worth of damage and one person had been injured. The upsurge in the incidence of fires has been blamed on the unusually warm and dry weather the Czech Republic has been experiencing in recent weeks.
