A pipe burst in the basement of an apartment building in the Leninsky District after a loud bang.
An explosion rattled the basement of an apartment building in the Leninsky District. This was reported by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the Nizhny Novgorod Region.
Today, December 29, emergency service staff received a report of an unexplained bang in the basement of an apartment building on Iskry Street in the Leninsky District. The fire was contained to an area of 10 sq. m.
As a result of the rescuers’ work, 25 people, including 3 children, were evacuated from the building. The aftermath of the fire was dealt with by 42 emergency personnel and 10 units of special equipment.
The probable cause of the bang could have been careless handling of fire. A rupture in a central heating pipe was found at the scene.
As noted by the city administration, heating in the building has now been fully restored. In addition, the owners’ property was not damaged and evacuation of residents is not currently required.
Earlier, pravda-nn.ru reported that a child had almost burned down an apartment in the Leninsky District.
