Domestic animals killed in major fire in Magadan

The fire on Lozovaya Street occurred early in the morning. The fire was in a barn where animals were kept. The owners called the firefighters.

36 people and 8 units of equipment were sent to the scene. The rescuers had to work in difficult conditions. Extinguishing was complicated by the structural features of the buildings and low air temperatures. There was a risk of the flames spreading to neighboring buildings.

As a result, the fire was extinguished on an area of 276 square meters. 15 cows, 1 ram, 5 goats, 10 chickens, 2 turkeys and 8 cats died in the fire.

Experts will have to establish the exact cause of the incident. The main versions include a malfunction of the furnace equipment and electrical wiring.
