On June 1, at 3:49, the rescue service of Transcarpathia received a report about a fire in a building which is divided into three apartments, located on Karpatska Ukraina street in Khust. The fire in one of the appartments was noticed by the owner, who woke up at night and woke up the neighbors.
Firefighters of the 10th State Fire and Rescue Service arrived at the scene. On arrival, they found out that the fire had engulfed the kitchen in area of 12 square meters. Within 10 minutes after receiving a call, at 3:58, the rescuers localized the fire and did not let it spread to the rest of the rooms. Final elimination of the fire continued for another hour and a half, until 5:30. It was caused by the fact that the kitchen ceiling started to smolder and firefighters watered it from the attic. The fire destroyed a sofa and refrigerator in the kitchen and damaged some household property. 1 vehicles and 4 men were engaged in firefighting.
The 54-year-old owner of the apartment, which was the center of the fire, suffered carbon monoxide intoxication. An ambulance delivered him to the intensive care unit of Khust Central District Hospital.
The cause of the fire will be established by law enforcement authorities.
