A serious fire in a warehouse that stored flammable materials in Kemerovo has been put out. The press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia confirmed that firefighters successfully controlled and completely extinguished the blaze.

In the initial phase, responders managed to halt active burning and prevent further spread. Fire suppression went on for several hours as crews worked to secure the site and eliminate hot spots.
