Fire in South Moravian grain field destroys several hectares of crops

Several hectares of crops were destroyed by a fire in a grain field in South Moravia around noon on Friday. Several firefighting units were called to the scene as a second degree Fire Alert Level was declared. The firefighters managed to extinguish the fire, but the cause of the blaze is so far still unknown.

The fire occurred in a field in Terezín in South Morava, not to be confused with Terezín in the Ústí nad Labem Region, which was the site of a Jewish ghetto and concentration camp during World War II.
