Huge fire at Vietnamese market brought under control

One of the biggest fires seen in Prague in decades has been brought under control, a spokesperson for the city’s fire service said in the early hours of Friday morning. The fire spread to a large area of the Vietnamese run SAPA market in Libuše in Prague 6 after breaking out at a clothing and footwear warehouse on Wednesday night. People living in the area were told to keep their windows closed because of dangerous fumes emanating from the market. The smoke could be smelled across a large area of Prague. The cause of the fire is being investigated.
