Fire in Riga's Tvaika Street Closes Road and Halts Trolleybus Service

A fire broke out in an unmanaged building on Tvaika Street in Riga on Monday morning. The State Fire and Rescue Service (VUGD), the national authority responsible for fire safety and rescue operations, reported the incident.

Because of the fire, traffic has been closed at the start of the street. The restriction has also affected public transport: trolleybus service on Tvaika Street has been temporarily suspended.

The source does not say how large the fire is, whether anyone was injured, or how long the traffic restrictions might last. All that is known at this point is that the building where the fire started is not being managed or maintained and that the road is closed at the start of the street.
