In the early afternoon on Monday, the emergency services received a report that an elderly man living alone in Komló had not been seen for several days.
The firefighters went out to the four-story panel house on Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Street, and then entered the property on the fourth floor. In the sixty-square-meter, two-room apartment
traces of a previous fire and a dead body were found.
A bed and its surroundings were on fire, as well as an old TV, which also exploded. Due to the destructive flames in the small area, the entire apartment was filled with smoke, presumably the death of the elderly person who lived there was caused by smoke poisoning.
Disaster management drew attention to the fact that nfor a few thousand forints, you can get a smoke detector that not only beeps in case of smoke, but also sends a signal to your smartphone. It is worth getting one for our elderly relatives who live alone.
