Russia retirement home fire kills 11 elderly people

Eleven elderly people with movement issues tragically passed away after being caught in a burning retirement home in the early hours of Tuesday in the Russian region of Bashkortostan in the Urals mountains, authorities announced.

The fire was recorded in the village of Ishbuldino, the emergencies ministry declared in a statement, and was extinguished three hours later.

“Four people evacuated (the site) on their own before the arrival of firefighters,” the ministry said.

Russian news agency Interfax cited the district authorities as stating that one of the survivors was a staff member, while three others were residents whom she succeeded to lead out of the one-story wooden building.

The 11 victims were also elderly residents who had mobility issues and could not be quickly evacuated, Interfax reported.
