Fire Extinguished in Moscow Metal Container After Explosion

A fire erupted and was quickly extinguished in a metal container near a hotel and gas station in eastern Moscow on Monday. The incident occurred on Plekhanova Street, prompting a rapid response from emergency services.

The Moscow Ministry of Emergency Situations dispatched four special vehicles and 12 personnel to the scene. Their swift action ensured the fire was completely extinguished.

Initial reports indicated an explosion was heard near the Perovo Plaza Hotel, located at 17 Plekhanova Street. Witnesses reported seeing black clouds of smoke rising from the area. The proximity of a gas station to the site raised concerns.
