In Almetyevsk, a pensioner died due to a light fixture.

      In Almetyevsk, a 79-year-old man died in a fire caused by a wall lamp. This was reported by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for Tatarstan. At night, a report was received about a fire on Builders Avenue, 20. Items on the loggia of a one-room apartment on the third floor of a nine-story building were burning. Firefighters, as part of a smoke and gas protection unit, found the man and carried him out of the smoke-filled room using a rescue mask. Paramedics confirmed his death. Open flames were extinguished over an area of 5 square meters. The preliminary cause of the fire is a violation of the rules for the installation and operation of electrical equipment, specifically the improper installation of a wall lamp on the loggia. Autonomous smoke fire alarms were not installed in the apartment, which could have alerted about the fire with a loud signal in case of smoke.
