Crews from the regional fire service quickly brought an open flame under control on the roof of a five-story residential building in Omsk and completed the suppression in full. The incident was reported by DEA News, which cited the press service of the regional Ministry of Emergencies. Officials are reviewing the events to establish the exact sequence and any factors that contributed to the fire on the roof and attic spaces.
The regional ministry described the event as an open incineration on the roof. Firefighters faced challenging conditions as they worked to extinguish the fire, protect nearby structures, and prevent spread to other parts of the building. Responders coordinated their actions to limit smoke, safeguard residents, and keep nonessential personnel away from affected zones until the all clear was given.
Residents indicated the blaze began at building number 3 Pobedy Boulevard. Officials confirmed that the fire affected the roof and attic areas, with the affected zone measuring 1125 square meters. Fire crews carefully assessed the roof for structural integrity as water and foam were applied to suppress the flames. Additional teams supported ventilation efforts and monitored for rekindling. Work continued until the site was deemed safe for occupants to return and authorities could hand the scene over to property managers for inspection and repairs.
According to the regional press service, the Ministry of Emergencies evacuated 60 residents from the building, while three others were rescued during the response. The rapid evacuation protocol and systematic removal of civilians from danger zones helped minimize injuries and ensured everyone accounted for was moved to a safe location. Firefighters addressed hot spots, checked for hidden pockets of flames, and secured the perimeter to prevent unauthorized re-entry.
