The accident happened while one stupid men who was driving car near a forest was droping a cigarette on ground. Weather was very hot and leaves on ground were dry so them caught fire with a ciggarette. In a moment fire moved on the trees. Strong winds moved flames on all forest and anybody wasn't had control on it. People who lived near the forest must left their houses. Injured was fifteen people. Along twenty minutes on place arrived firemans. They helped people and extinguished fire.
