Earlier notifications described a separate fire breaking out in a car repair shop in Khimki. The authorities stated there were no reported casualties at that time.

Another update described a natural fire within Leopard Country national park in Primorsky Krai. As of March 4, there were three natural fires burning across the Primorsky Territory, with a combined area of about 4,900 hectares.

In Kuznetsk, Penza region, responders tackled a blaze that involved a sizable commercial and retail complex. The fire affected a 1,500-square-meter shopping mall alongside a furniture workshop, a store complex, and a motorcycle showroom. Fire teams worked to secure the site, prevent spread to nearby structures, and preserve as much property as possible while extinguishing the flames.

Earlier reports also mentioned a residential fire caused by reheated canned food that led to a patient being admitted to intensive care after a blaze in an apartment.

The coverage of these events collectively emphasizes the breadth of fire-related hazards that can emerge across different settings, from correctional facilities and industrial spaces to natural landscapes and inhabited neighborhoods, and the essential role of timely alerts, professional firefighting, and preventive safety measures in mitigating damage and protecting lives.
