Fire spreads from Budapest nightlife venue to nearby flats
Firefighters contained a blaze on Kazinczy Street after flames reached an upper-floor apartment and the basement.
Firefighters were called to a building on Kazinczy Street in Budapest's seventh district after a fire broke out in a room associated with a nightlife venue on Thursday evening, Hungarian media Telex, Index and HVG reported.
The Hungarian disaster-management authority said the flames spread to parts of a first-floor apartment and the basement. Fire crews used several hoses to contain the fire, while personnel checked the neighbouring rooms for further danger.
Reports indicated that several fire-service units attended. Telex later reported that the blaze had been extinguished, following an update from the national disaster-management service.
The source material did not establish injuries, an evacuation count or a completed investigation into the cause.
Kazinczy Street is in a busy area of central Budapest with entertainment venues and residential properties. Fire spreading between businesses and homes can complicate evacuation and access for emergency crews.
