A fire in a two-story wooden apartment building in Novosibirsk injured three people and caused significant damage. The fire, which engulfed 600 square meters, led to a partial roof collapse and forced residents to break windows to escape.

The fire occurred on the night of October 18 at 8, 2nd Rimsky-Korsakov Lane. According to Galina, a resident of the building, the fire appeared to have started on the first floor.

Galina recounted how she smelled smoke and discovered the entrance was on fire. She attempted to extinguish the flames with water but was unsuccessful. The fire quickly spread into her apartment, forcing her and her family to escape through a window. Her grandson sustained burns and cuts from the broken glass and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Galina escaped the building barefoot and in her nightgown. Fortunately, she has been provided with clothes and shoes.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Novosibirsk Region reported that the fire affected a large area of the building, which included a mansard floor.
