In November alone, more than 400 fires were recorded, in which more than 70 people died, said Emergencies Ministry official Evgeniy Baranovsky, writes BELTA.
People have begun to use stoves and heaters more often, which often, especially in the case of improper operation of the devices, leads to dire consequences.
“Since the beginning of the year, more than 5.2 thousand fires have occurred in the country, in which more than 400 people have died. Despite the fact that we are recording a general downward trend in the number of fires, there was a definite peak in November. In November alone, more than 70 people died in fires, including two children. The number of fires has exceeded 400,” — Baranovsky reported.
