Incineration plant in Malesice shut down for few days after fire

The incineration plant in Prague-Malesice, where a conflagration engulfed one of the buildings on Wednesday, will be out of operation for up to a week and meanwhile, the waste will be driven to dumps near the capital city, Prague waste management spokesman Radim Mana told CTK today. Two out of four incineration lines will be put into operation again today, Mana said on behalf of the Prague Services managing the plant. The damage caused by the fire is estimated at several hundreds of millions of crowns and the cause is still being investigated, he added.
