Grass and bushes caught fire near the railway station at the village of Gorno Sahrane, Central Bulgaria on Sunday, forcing the Sofia-Burgas express train, carrying around 120 passengers, to wait at Kalofer and holding up a local train at Kazanlak, Bulgarian State Railways reported. Train services between Tazha and Sahrane, part of the Sub-Balkan Railway Line, were suspended.

The fire has affected a room at the Sahrane railway station and the station’s access and departure areas, as well as railway sleepers.
