Police begin investigation into fire at Prague’s biggest market

Police have begun investigating the cause of a huge fire at Prague’s biggest market last week. Large parts of the Vietnamese-run Sapa market at Libuše in Prague 6 were destroyed in a blaze that at one point was fought by 350 fire officers. An estimated CZK 100 million worth of goods was destroyed in the fire, which broke out at a clothing and footwear warehouse on Wednesday night. Smoke could be smelled across large areas of Prague and people living near the market were told to keep their windows closed.
