A series of fires touched several sites around Russia, reported through emergency services and city news portals. In Moscow, a blaze broke out within a housing block of the Savelovsky City residential complex. Eyewitness accounts collected by local outlets indicate the incident occurred on one of the upper floors. Investigators are still clarifying the exact causes and dynamics of the fire, and current information does not specify losses or casualties. Officials from municipal fire services have pledged a thorough probe to determine how the fire started and how it spread through the structure, with particular attention to stairwells, electrical risers, and common areas where ignition sources may have originated. The incident is under review by city authorities as residents were temporarily evacuated and the building crew began safety checks to ensure the integrity of nearby units.

Earlier in February, another report described a fire at a high-rise section within the Moscow City complex, a district known for rapid construction and dense urban development. The fire reportedly began near the 4th floor level of the Moscow Tower, with construction materials identified as the primary fuel source. Firefighters worked to confine the blaze to the affected floor and its immediate surroundings, ultimately bringing it under control after a measured response. The area of active burning was described as approximately 300 square meters, and authorities stated that the liquidation of the fire involved coordinated efforts across multiple responding units. Investigators will examine construction debris, storage practices on site, and potential ignition sources associated with ongoing works.

In a separate incident, a large fire occurred at the Mustang Riding Club near Sochi, reported by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergencies. Fire crews arrived to find a substantial area already engulfed, with around 400 square meters affected by flames. The challenging mountain terrain, recent sleet, and the high combustible load of wooden structures complicated extinguishing efforts. Despite the severity, all animals at the facility were successfully evacuated by the owners before firefighters arrived, and there were no reported injuries among people or animals. Fire suppression operations continued as teams assessed structural stability and worked to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby buildings.
