       According to the State Housing Inspection of the Republic of Tatarstan, since the beginning of the year, there have been 59 fires in the republic, one of which was caused by unauthorized replacement of gas equipment.

       Since the beginning of 2024, there have already been 250 incidents recorded in the Republic of Tatarstan related to gas supply facilities. According to the State Housing Inspection of the Republic of Tatarstan, these incidents have led to 28 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, eight of which were fatal, reports "Tatar-inform." The agency stated that the main causes of the tragedies were dangerous violations: leaks in connections (68 cases), chimney malfunctions (35 cases), and pipeline issues (65 cases). Specialists regularly record cases of unauthorized installation of gas water heaters – only in Kazan and Almetyevsk, there have been 25 cases of water entering the gas pipeline. The press service notes that one of the reasons for emergencies is also the popular renovations among the population. As explained by the agency, combining the kitchen with the living room, installing airtight windows, and improper installation of forced ventilation have already caused cases of backdraft in Kazan and the Kamsky-Ustyinsky district. Due to improperly installed ventilation, carbon monoxide instead of venting outside begins to accumulate indoors – this can lead to tragedy. It is reported that since the beginning of the year, there have been 59 fires in the republic, one case of which is attributed to unauthorized replacement of gas equipment. This figure includes emergency gas service responses to fires to shut off gas supply in apartments and private homes, even if the cause of the fire was not gas. Such cases are classified as incidents on the territory of the gas supply facility due to the presence of a gas stove or boiler.
