[01:17 pm] 11 September, 2006
At about 10:05 p.m. yesterday 120-square-meter roof of a 4-storeyed
building on Andrfederation 18 caught fire.
The Emergency Board and Rescuers’ Agency informed A1+ that the roof
of the building was completely burnt.
Fortunately, the fire didn’t spread too far, and there were neither
damages nor victims.
The inner part of the building is made of wood which contributed to
the quick spread of the fire. The Emergency Board has no information
on the causes of fire; they will be revealed only within 7 – 10 days.
It took two days to extinguish the fire. The fire was completely put
out at 00:29 a.m. The roads leading to the burning building closed
down in order not to prevent the work of the fire brigade and rescuers.
Fire-extinguishing cars from fire agencies 2, 3, 4 and 8 arrived
on the scene at 10:05 – 10:08 p.m. The second group of the rescuers
arrived at 11:05 p.m.
