On the afternoon of October 1, a fire occurred in one of the apartment buildings on Fadeev Street. Passers-by saw the fire, as well as a woman screaming on the balcony, and called the fire department. Before her arrival, neighbors pulled a blanket under the balcony, into which the woman threw her four-year-old child. Then she herself jumped from the balcony to the ground.
Emergency Ministry employees discovered the body of a 48-year-old man while localizing the fire. A 47-year-old woman died in an ambulance, the department reports.
The life and health of the young child are not in danger. It is noted that the boy’s mother, who arrived at the scene of the fire, refused to hospitalize him.
