The cause of the fire on Ordzhonikidze was candles.

      As we wrote earlier, yesterday, April 7, a fire broke out in an apartment on Ordzhonikidze Street in Kirov. The area of the fire was five square meters. Twenty-two people fought the fire, and seven units of equipment were used. The cause of the fire was initially attributed to careless handling of fire.

      Later, the regional emergency management office reported that the 88-year-old owner of the apartment had lit two wax candles on a shelf and went to her neighbor's house. An hour later, the residents of the building noticed smoke in the stairwell, found the elderly woman, and called the firefighters. Fortunately, no one was injured. In one of the rooms, the walls were burned, and the other rooms were sooty.
