For this reason, METRANS informed the customers via their portal that traffic via the Villa Opicina border is suspended until further notice.
As for the cause of the fire, it seems like it was the result of sparks caused by the train braking. The strong wind blowing over the Karst at the time and the dry vegetation quickly ignited the first flames. The local authorities in Tržič warned residents not to move outdoors, as the air was heavily polluted due to smoke. "If you can, don't leave the house. It's better not to go out and wear a mask if necessary. Don't engage in sports activities. The windows should be closed," wrote the mayor of Tržič, Anna Maria Cisint. No wind at night caused extremely high values of PM10 particles in the air.
