1,000-liter oil tanks were stored in the area damaged by the fire. As a result of the fire, the containers were depressurized, and the leaking substances caught fire, the report says.

It was noted that more than 160 firefighters are working at the scene, there are no casualties. The plant where the fire broke out is located far from residential buildings, so there was no need to evacuate local residents, firefighters assured.

The publication writes that the plant where the fire broke out is engaged in the production and distribution of lubricants, radiator fluids, windshield washers and brake fluid, as well as other products.

According to rescuers, the fire did not spread to nearby forests. Only trees on the territory of the enterprise were burning.
