From the house in Gavrilovo-Posad district took the body of the deceased pensioner

The tragedy occurred on the evening of November 10 in the village of Lipova Grove. A 67-year-old man died in his apartment because of a cigarette.

The fire started in the kitchen. When neighbors smelled smoke and called for rescuers, the apartment was already heavily smoked. Firefighters had to open the door.

Smoking in bed or in a chair is one of the main causes of "fire" deaths. The Emergencies Ministry reminds: even if you think that you extinguished the cigarette butt, smoldering ash can cause tragedy.

Do not smoke in the apartment, especially in bed, is recommended in the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Autonomous fire detector. He'll wake you up when you smoke.
