The glass container set the balcony on fire on Preobrazhenskaya.
The fire report was received at the "01" control center at 12:27. By the time the firefighters arrived, the wall cladding and wooden window frame on the balcony had already burned. Thanks to the quick detection of the fire by witnesses and the prompt response of the firefighting units, the consequences were minimized — the apartment itself was not damaged. Eight employees and three units of equipment from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations were working at the scene. Alexey Tolstoguzov, an inspector from the supervisory department of the city of Kirov, explained that the cause of the fire was the focusing of sunlight through glass containers stored on the balcony. It acted as a lens. The Ministry of Emergency Situations reminds: do not leave glass jars, bottles, mirrors, and other objects that can focus sunlight on balconies and windowsills. This can lead to a fire.
