Hundreds of fire officers fight huge blaze at Vietnamese market in Prague

Around 350 fire officers fought a huge blaze at one of Prague’s biggest markets on Thursday. The fire spread to a large area of the SAPA market in Libuše in Prague 6 after breaking out at a clothing and footwear store 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 and the blaze caused traffic delays. A spokesperson for the city’s fire service said it was one of the biggest fires seen in the capital for several decades.
