A nighttime photograph captures an active fire on the sidewalk of Vitosha Boulevard 36, Sofia, Bulgaria. Two large municipal waste containers, one blue and one green, are fully engulfed in intense orange and yellow flames, emitting visible smoke. The fire casts bright reflections on the wet asphalt street, which features white crosswalk markings. The scene is devoid of people, vehicles, or emergency services. The backdrop consists of a multi-story urban building with visible windows and air conditioning units on upper floors. The ground floor of this building features commercial storefronts, one prominently displaying "BERGNER" signage. Graffiti is visible on the building's lower facade and a closed storefront shutter. Dark pedestrian bollards line the sidewalk, and a utility pole covered with posters stands in the right foreground.
