Firefighters tackle big blaze in Rīga

Fire crews were busy Friday afternoon tackling a blaze in northern Rīga that sent a plume of smoke into the sky that was visible from a considerable distance.

The State Fire and Rescue Service said it was alerted about a fire at a hangar in Meirānu iela in the Pļavnieki suburb of the Latvian capital. They advised local residents to close windows and other forms of ventilation if possible due to the strong smell produced by the smoke.
