A fire broke out at the largest market in Moscow. During the fire, goods belonging to Tajik entrepreneurs were burned.
According to the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, a fire occurred at the “Sadovod” goods market in Moscow. The area of the fire was over 600 square meters.
The Ministry emphasized that the rapid spread of the fire was facilitated by a high fire load and dense construction.
Later, the fire was localized. More than 170 people and 48 units of equipment were involved in extinguishing the fire.
From the burning market, 350 people were evacuated. Two individuals suffered from smoke inhalation and combustion products. One firefighter sustained a head injury after falling from a height.
The causes of the fire are being investigated. According to sellers, the fire may have been caused by a short circuit, as many use lamps, steamers, and switches.
At the same time, “Sputnik Tajikistan,” citing the Embassy of Tajikistan in Moscow, reported that goods belonging to entrepreneurs from Tajikistan were burned in the fire. The embassy stated that no citizens of Tajikistan were harmed, and the extent of the damage has not yet been determined.
The “Sadovod” market is located in the southwest of Moscow. The market covers an area of 40 hectares, housing more than 9,500 pavilions.
