The building, as I understand it, burned down to the body, is still burning. The fire began about four, at the beginning of the fifth. I was an intern in the furniture department on the 3rd floor, we stood with the girls, waited for buyers when we suddenly saw that a crowd of people was running in panic. We have a "children's world" nearby, we first thought that someone stole something, and sellers and guards chased him, but then realized that everyone was running and screaming. We also grabbed our things, ran, and by this moment black smoke had already appeared in our department, about a quarter of our hall was already in smoke, it spread very quickly. By this moment, the escalators have not yet managed to turn off. The fire spread very quickly, I do not know what exactly caught fire, but it was on the 4th floor. Maybe wiring. The building is old, I do not know when it was checked for the last time. Around plastic, in our salon, wooden furniture, nearby are small departments with perfumes, a store of goods for hairdressers, all this chemistry, clothes, everything is easily ignited.
- How many people were inside?
“I don’t know how much, but there were a lot of people.” There are grocery stores, and a fish store is very large, and stalls, and household appliances, and toys, mobile salons, and clothes. When I was already on the street, I saw a flame already breaking out of the 3rd floor window, it seems that this was already our salon. The acquaintance of my former colleague works in the Ministry of Emergencies, and he was now there and told her that 86 people, nightmare and horror, allegedly suffered in the cinema. I don’t know whether it is true or not.
- Did the alarm, alert on internal radio?
- No, nothing worked. People just ran out. When we ran out, the Ministry of Emergencies already drove up to the building, blocked the road, because it is the city center, avenue. A lot of fork, trams. Everyone immediately blocked, firefighters arrived, ambulance, police. Our boss arrived, said to go home. I did not see how people jumped from the windows. Then I already began to send my friends a video from there that some began to get out onto the roof, the teenager fell out of the window. I understand that everything burned there. And animals in the contact zoo on the 3rd floor died.
