A fire in the center of the city
Ryazan. Krasnoryadskaya street and Gorkov street that are close to Lenin Square were full of fire-brigade trucks yesterday, on the 23rd of May. The fire-alarm signal came at 8.30. It was reported that three houses were in flames. 20 fire-fighting crews were operating at the fire point. According to preliminary data, the burning originating in the barns flopped onto the apartment houses. The fire was quenched at 11.30. 22 people lost their flats. Now they are settled in the hotel "Moscowā€¯. The ignition cause is still unclear, but many say that the arson is possible as well.
I live near this place. We heard siren sound in the morning and understoom that something awfull must have happened. This day our street was blocked by police, and we couldn't see the fire, we only felt the smell of it and saw puffs of smoke.
Yes, the first word that comes to one's mind is "arson". it's very logical - we've already come across many situations when old buildings were set on fire because somebody needed the very place they "occupied"...
