Fire Engulfs a Cargo Tarpaulin GAZelle in Ivanovo
In Ivanovo, a cargo tarpaulin GAZelle was suddenly set ablaze on a city street. Early assessments point to an electrical short in the vehicle’s wiring as the likely spark that started the flames. A passing GAS sewer truck happened to be near the scene as the fire broke out.
