An unforeseen fire destroyed the wildflower fields close to Bredon. The fire department acted right away, no one was injured in the process.
Yesterday morning a fire broke out in the wildflower fields close by Bredon. Inhabitants started to notice something was wrong when they smelled a burnt odour in the air. Later on they even started noticing black fumes coming from the fields.
Once the fire department was informed, they quickly took actions. After 7 hours of battling the flames, they were finally able to put out the fire only minutes away from Bredon.
Fire officials say the fire broke out around 9 am in the morning and consumed about 10 hectares of our beautiful wildflower fields. The cause of this incident has yet to be discovered. The fire department only stated that there were no signs of arson.
The 150 inhabitants of Bredon were evacuated. Luckily no one was harmed in the process. Thanks to the quick actions of our brave fire fighters the damage is limited, no houses were destroyed. If they had arrived 20 minutes later the outcome could have been very different.
This event has caused a lot of fear among our inhabitants, despite the restricted damage. As the cause of the fires is unknown, people are scared that it will happen again in the future.
Our queen is very shocked by this sudden incident and is very grateful no one was injured. To show her gratitude to the fire department of Bredon, there will be a royal ceremony next Sunday to praise them for their excellent work.
Queen Andora claims she will immediately further investigate the matter. She also stated that she will financially invest in the reconstruction of the destroyed fields, the clean-up starts next week. Long live our loving queen.
