According to Russia’s emergency services, the fire started on the lower levels of the building and spread across the second and third floors. At the time of the incident, around 200 people were believed to be present at the site, largely comprising construction workers.
Rescue operations were carried out on priority, with more than 30 individuals safely evacuated from the building. Firefighters used lifting equipment to access upper floors, while ground teams navigated dense smoke conditions inside the structure to contain the fire.
Officials stated that the blaze was eventually brought under control after coordinated efforts by emergency response teams. The scale of the fire and the number of people present at the site made the rescue operation complex.
Authorities have initiated a criminal case to examine potential violations of construction safety regulations. Investigators are currently working to determine the exact cause of the fire.
Past incidents in Russia’s construction sector have raised concerns around adherence to safety standards, particularly at large-scale urban residential projects where workforce density is high. Such cases often lead to stricter inspections and regulatory scrutiny following accidents.
