Propane cylinders broke out in one of the buildings of Barnaul
A serious fire occurred in Barnaul on September 29. In one of the buildings where electrogas welding was carried out, propane cylinders caught fire.
According to the GU EMERCOM of Russia in the Altai Territory, the incident occurred on the street of the Soviet Army on the afternoon of September 29. When rescuers arrived at the scene, four propane cylinders burned in an open flame in a one-story building.
Because of this, a direct threat of fire on nearby oxygen cylinders was formed. Such a fire could have had devastating consequences.
Fire fighters immediately began to cool the cylinders and isolate the hearth. As a result, the critical development of the situation was avoided.
In total, the flame spread over five square meters of the room. To eliminate the fire involved 30 rescuers on seven units of special equipment.
It is specified that five people who were in the building, evacuated on their own before the arrival of fire protection. None of them were hurt.
The preliminary cause of the fire is a violation of fire safety rules during electrogas welding.
