As a result of the fire that occurred on the evening of December 17 in the village of Kapinovo, Bulgaria, almost 3 thousand pigs died on the pig farm. The cause of the fire is unknown, and the damage is still increasing.
About 3 thousand people died in the fire at the farm. Firefighters fought the fire all night, extinguished it around 7:30 in the morning.
In addition to the enormous damage associated with the death of livestock, the fire also destroyed nearly 500 m² of roof structures and farm equipment in animal rooms. The cost of damage continues to accumulate, and the cause of the incident remains to be seen.
The farm is owned by the Bulgarian-Austrian company Agro SIP, built in 2015 as part of a modern complex of 3 pig farms, a feed mill and a slaughterhouse. The total investment amounted to 23 million leva (13,066,845 dollars).
Pigs love to play with each other and listen to music.
The farm was built according to the Austrian system in accordance with all environmental requirements - with sanitary walkways, cooling systems and sewers. The farms raised pigs from the Danish company Danbred.
Recall, a similar fire, three times larger, occurred in Croatia last year: 10 thousand pigs, housed in the pig farm PIK Vinkovci in Andriyasevtsy, burned in a terrifying fire.
