7 people died in fires in a day

In the Irkutsk region, seven people died in fires in one day, and 15 fires were recorded in total. Preliminary data suggest the tragedies may have been caused by careless use of stoves, electrical appliances, and faulty heaters. Firefighters urge residents to be especially careful in frosts, help may not always come quickly, and in Svirsk only one firefighter is on duty now.

Attempts to warm up in such severe frosts became the cause of death. Seven people died in fires in the Irkutsk region over the past day.
In total, 15 fires were registered. Their causes are still being determined, but the most likely are careless handling of electrical appliances and stoves, or the use of faulty heaters. Firefighters urge citizens to be more careful. Especially since help cannot always arrive in time. For example, in Svirsk there is currently only one firefighter on duty. And in difficult cases, he will need to call for assistance from Cheremkhovo, located 30 kilometers from the city. We remind you that to report a fire, call the single number 01, and from a mobile phone dial 112. The call is free and possible even with a zero balance.
