Six people have been killed in an explosion and fire at a restaurant in the Czech Republic. According to the fire brigade, eight people were also taken to hospital with injuries. According to initial statements from witnesses, a gas heater fell over and the propane gas bottle subsequently ignited.
The fire started on Sunday night. The accident took place in a restaurant in the center of the industrial town of Most (Brüx). According to emergency services, the flames spread unusually quickly. Czech Interior Minister Vit Rakusan wrote to X that he was in close contact with the fire brigade and police. About 30 people were able to escape from the restaurant and adjacent buildings to safety.
Restaurant completely burned down
A public radio reporter reported that the restaurant had completely burned down. The flames were two to three meters high, as shown by marks on adjacent buildings. A structural engineer must now determine whether the house needs to be demolished.
The police have started an investigation into suspected danger to the public. In the Czech Republic, anyone who negligently causes great danger to the life and limb of a large number of people or to the property of others commits such a crime.
