On Saturday morning, one such house fire occurred in Nyírmártonfalva (245 km east of Budapest), in a 20 sqm room of a family house on Rákóczi utca.

A lit cigarette ignited a bed, as well as a pair of adjacent armchairs. The flames were put out by the house's residents before firefighters arrived on the scene, but one man died from smoke inhalation. In a statement, OKF warned that, typically, smokers fall asleep in bed before their cigarettes go out, which then ignite the bedsheets and the surroundings.
