In Chelny, children were rescued during a fire in a high-rise building.

      A fire broke out in a nine-story building on Moskovsky Avenue - the flames engulfed an apartment on the ninth floor. The report of the fire came in at 19:02, according to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation for the Republic of Tatarstan.

      The area of the fire was five square meters: furniture and a television were burning. Despite the relatively small area of the fire, thick and acrid smoke quickly filled the stairwell, posing a threat to the lives of the residents. At the epicenter of the events was the 79-year-old owner of the apartment. The woman suffered from smoke inhalation - she was urgently hospitalized in the 5th city hospital.

      It is reported that rescuing the residents of the neighboring apartment posed particular difficulties. A team from the smoke and gas protection service evacuated two children from the smoke-filled stairwell - a two-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl. Due to the heavy smoke, breathing was nearly impossible, so the children were evacuated down the stairwell in special masks from compressed air breathing apparatus. The children were unharmed. After the evacuation, they were examined by medical personnel and then handed over to their relatives.

      Currently, specialists from the State Fire Supervision are working at the scene. They are determining the exact cause of the fire. According to preliminary reports, the fire may have occurred due to a malfunctioning electrical appliance.
