"As a result of fire safety regulations violation during the activation of electrical equipment in a utility room of the Lepel Central District Hospital basement, a short circuit of the electrical wiring occurred, followed by furniture ignition. The fire is spreading throughout the entire room, releasing combustion products. Consequently, combustion products are spreading through ventilation and elevator shafts to all floors of the building. There is one casualty located in a utility room in the basement, as well as three casualties on the 3rd floor."

Fortunately, this was a scenario for tactical special exercises conducted by the relevant services today.

Alongside the employees of the Department for Emergency Situations, specialists from the healthcare institution, representatives of the Department of Internal Affairs, and the Lepel district gas supply and electricity networks practiced the action plan.
