A crowd of onlookers gathered, defying lockdown rules, to watch a huge fire at a landfill site on the outskirts of Szombathely on Wednesday night.
Plant waste was burning on an area of three hectares, requiring the participation of several fire brigades from the surrounding region to control the flames.
Szombathely mayor András Nemény and deputy mayor Soma Horváth also appeared at the scene.
Police had to intervene, because, despite the lockdown, the area was immediately flooded with large numbers of disaster tourists.
The many onlookers gathered in the area were sent home by the police and the civil guards.
