A warehouse blaze in Krasnoyarsk was brought under control after spreading across 800 square meters. This update comes from RIA News, cited to the regional department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the region.
The official statement notes that the fire was localized within an area of 800 square meters, and firefighting efforts continued until the fire was fully extinguished. The report emphasizes that extinguishing operations persisted until the last embers were out and the danger was cleared.
There is no confirmed information yet on any injuries, and investigators will determine the cause of the incident as part of their routine inquiries. The authorities stressed that once more facts are available, they will be reported by the official channels.
Local media outlets have identified the site as the Zelen brewery. This detail helps map the incident to a known industrial facility in the city, though independent confirmation from the scene is still pending.
In the early hours, reports positioned the fire at 10:58 local time (which corresponds to 6:58 Moscow time) on Poligonnaya Street in Krasnoyarsk. The structure involved is a single-story building covering about 800 square meters, and the response involved a substantial firefighting effort. About 40 personnel and 11 units of specialized equipment were deployed to battle the flames and protect surrounding areas. The coordination of response teams was described as swift, with water delivery, ventilation, and hotspot checks forming a critical part of the operation.
Separately, on February 27, in the city of Pridorozhny within the Saratov region, a separate incident produced a similar scale of damage. The total area affected by the blaze in that single-story industrial building reached 800 square meters, raising concerns about the safety of workers and the integrity of adjacent facilities. Local authorities conducted a rapid assessment to determine structural stability and to plan cooling measures to prevent rekindling while the site was secured for investigation.
Earlier reporting noted a separate residential incident where a person required intensive care following a kitchen fire linked to canned goods. Emergency teams responded promptly, and medical personnel provided care at the scene before transport to a hospital facility for further treatment. The incident underscored the dangers posed by unattended cooking and cluttered storage spaces in homes, especially when metal cans or sealed containers are involved. Investigators will review the sequence of events to determine what safety measures could prevent a recurrence in similar living environments.
Across these events, local responders emphasized the importance of rapid notification, coordinated deployment of firefighting resources, and ongoing monitoring for hot spots after initial containment. In Krasnoyarsk, investigators intend to establish a clear timeline that includes when alarms were raised, how firefighting crews controlled the spread, and what building materials might have influenced flame behavior. In Saratov, authorities plan a similar timeline review to verify the reliability of safety systems and the adequacy of evacuation routes for personnel near the affected site. The overarching goal remains to minimize damage, protect nearby structures, and ensure that any hazards are resolved before normal operations resume. The region continues to rely on disciplined procedures, interagency communication, and public safety advisories as part of its ongoing fire response framework.
