On the evening of 28 June in Lviv, on Naukova Street, a fire incident occurred due to food left to burn on the hob. The report reached the firefighters at 23:25.
On arrival, the firefighters established that on the sixth floor of a nine-storey residential building, food had burned in one of the flats, causing heavy smoke inside the property. In the room was the flat’s owner, a man born in 1976.
Using a special rescue device, the firefighters led the man out into the fresh air. He was not injured and did not require medical assistance.
