The first case occurred in the locality of Ciorăscu in the Criuleni district. The call to 112 was received at 01:48. According to information a Toyota car caught fire after the driver, a 27-year-old man, fell asleep in the car with a lit candle. As a result of the fire, the car was totally destroyed and the man suffered second-degree burns to his upper limbs and was subsequently taken to hospital by the medical assistance service where he received treatment and refused hospitalisation. According to the IGSU, a fire and rescue crew responded to the scene.

Another case of a burning car occurred at 3:30 a.m. on Vlaicu Pârcălab Street in the capital. Here a Skoda car caught fire after a lit candle was left in the car.

There were no casualties. The circumstances of both cases are still being established.
