The cause of the fire is being established. The considered version of the cause of the fire is careless handling of fire while smoking by the owner's husband.

Dear citizens! Observe fire safety rules in everyday life, do not allow smoking in residential areas, and ensure that matches and cigarettes are extinguished after use. Install autonomous fire detectors in living rooms, which will promptly alert you to danger in case of a fire. And remember: one unextinguished cigarette can ruin a life, and not just one!
