A group of rescuers from the 19th, 9th, 25th, 1st, and 3rd state fire and rescue units, as well as the regional emergency management center, promptly arrived at the scene. The fire was also tackled by equipment from LLC “Swisspan-Limited,” local fire teams from the villages of Myrne and Mala Lyubasha, and the Kostopil forestry.
Upon arrival, rescuers found that the fire had engulfed the roof of the drying chambers. Firefighting substances were immediately deployed, which allowed for the fire to be localized over an area of 120 m² and prevented its spread inside the building.
As a result of the incident, the covering over an area of 120 m² was destroyed by the fire.
Fortunately, there were no casualties or injuries. The causes of the fire and the extent of the damage are currently being investigated.
Ten units of equipment and over 40 rescuers and fire service personnel were involved in the firefighting efforts.
Rescuers urge citizens to adhere to fire safety rules and to carefully monitor the condition of electrical networks and technological equipment.
“Firefighters demonstrated promptness and professionalism,” noted representatives of the Rescue Service.
