Obrenovac: fire hits bar at Concept venue, no one hurt
The fire engulfed part of the bar and the area around it, and firefighters contained it before it reached the rest of the building. Police inspected the site, and the cause is unknown.
A fire in Obrenovac broke out overnight on October 13, 2026, at the Concept venue on Milos Obrenovic Street, in the very center of town. The flames engulfed part of the bar and the area around it, and firefighters contained them before they spread to the rest of the building. No one was injured.
What burned at the Concept venue?
According to the sources read for this report, the fire took hold of the bar and its surroundings. Euronews Srbija describes that detail as unofficial, while the outlets Srbija Danas and Lokalne novine report it without such a caveat. The building shows visible damage to its glass doors, and the damage has been described as minor.
The sources disagree on what kind of venue it is. Srbija Danas and Lokalne novine call it a restaurant, while Euronews Srbija calls it a cafe. They agree on the name of the venue and the street where it stands.
What time did the fire start, and who put it out?
The sources do not match on timing. Euronews Srbija says the fire happened at 3:42 a.m., while Srbija Danas and Lokalne novine put it at around four o’clock in the morning. None of them explains the difference. Srbija Danas adds that the emergency services received the call before dawn.
The figures for the people and equipment deployed differ too:
- Srbija Danas and Lokalne novine: a fire crew from Obrenovac with two vehicles and five firefighters
- Euronews Srbija: three vehicles and seven firefighters, who, according to that outlet, put the fire out right away
Police also went to the scene. Lokalne novine report that on arrival the firefighters found flames at the bar and around it, and that their quick response kept the fire from spreading to the rest of the building and causing greater damage.
What is known about the cause of the fire?
Police carried out an on-site investigation, but the cause has not been established. Investigators are checking whether the fire started because of faulty wiring or something else. No source says that either possibility has been confirmed.
The reports read for this article contain no official statement from the police or the fire service, and no statement from a named witness. The time of the call, the number of firefighters and the type of venue therefore come from media accounts that differ from one another, not from statements by the authorities. What every source has in common is the location, the fact that the fire stayed at the bar and the area around it, and the fact that no one was hurt.
