The perpetrator has been detained, and the fire is growing fast as there is a danger to reach the village station. There are affected houses and buildings. 

The fire has also spread to the railway line between Merichleri and Mihailovo, and two trains have been turned back. 

The overhead power line has been disconnected to continue the firefighting efforts. Firefighters are controlling the perimeter of the fire and there is no danger of it spreading to neighbouring villages.
