A fire at a machine-building plant in Voronezh led to casualties

Voronezh firefighters quickly extinguished a fire on an area of ​​500 square meters that occurred at the ENIKmash-V enterprise. A fire at this engineering plant in Voronezh led to casualties.

This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation.

The Voronezh rescue service received a report of a fire in the electrical equipment production workshop of the machine-building plant at about nine o'clock in the morning today. The fire also engulfed the warehouses. The fire was assigned the third level of complexity.

64 Emergency Situations Ministry employees and twenty units of special equipment were involved in extinguishing the fire. During the event, representatives of the rescue service removed five gas cylinders from the premises - one with oxygen and four with propane. Already at the beginning of eleven, the fire was completely extinguished.

Three company employees died during this tragic incident. Their death occurred as a result of poisoning by combustion products. Three more people were rescued. When the workshop caught fire, some of the employees did not have time to leave the premises in time. It was difficult to find them quickly, as the workshop was filled with smoke.

There was so much of it that smoke was also observed outside the plant in the Kominternovsky district of Voronezh, where the enterprise is located. There were traffic jams on the streets due to smoke.

The cause of the fire has not yet been established.

Also yesterday, a big fire occurred in one of the markets in Astrakhan.

    Why should there be a fire there?
    Well, except for oil in transformers and hydraulic fluid in presses.

      The publication clearly states: "rescue service representatives removed five gas cylinders from the premises - one with oxygen and four with propane." Propane is a flammable gas, oxygen is a combustion catalyst. How many of these cylinders were there in total? And is it not from them that the leak occurred? In addition, some kind of paint and varnish materials could have been used. These are just my assumptions, let's wait to see what competent people have to say about the reasons.

        Well, the gas burns relatively cleanly (and it would be more likely to bomb).

          This is true, but a leak (not necessarily with an explosion) could have started a fire, and you never know what else could be flammable in the workshop, such as varnishes or paints. We don’t know the details of what was used in production there.

            The author did not even bother to write what was done in this workshop, the supposed causes, and whether a commission was appointed to investigate the causes of the fire. Perhaps it was sabotage. Then a question for the authorities: - Where is SMERSH, the law on the HIGHEST DEGREE of social protection?
            All this is far from easy, oh not easy...

        How did they set the GLASS WOOL on fire? (a rhetorical question)
        CHSH is not an isolated case.
        It looks like they are insulated with some kind of foam and not glass wool.

          Something happened to the hydraulic cylinder, a fountain of oil poured out of it, which abundantly moistened this same glass wool or ursa, so it began to burn like an oiled torch.

      lubricants and machine oil, paint and varnish materials, winding of wires and cables, plastic equipment... there is always something to burn with a high combustion temperature and the release of toxic substances so that it is very difficult to extinguish

    For some reason, the thought arises that these fires did not arise by chance.

        Well, how do Bandera’s people set fires? Toda is a diversion and quite in line with the theme.

          They could have arranged their own for money, which is more likely if it was, of course, sabotage and not an accident.

        Yes, despite the fact that there is a very high probability that this fire was the work of enemy intelligence services.

      Definitely not a coincidence. Of course, I feel sorry for people. But, apparently, the company has not fully worked out the issues of evacuation in case of fire. Management must respond.

        What does the management have to do with it, what is it to blame for? Do you want to remove it? What if this will harm the work of the enterprise and not benefit it? It is unknown who else will come to replace it.

          The management is here for everyone!!!
          Both the general and those who are responsible for organizing the fire safety system. Self-respecting enterprises regularly conduct training on evacuating personnel in emergency situations. You will see that after this incident they will now announce checks on this topic. That's all. Everything is as usual....
          Management is not only for salary distribution!

            There’s no need to go after the management, especially since you don’t know him and you don’t know his professional qualities. Maybe the people there are professionals, they’re in the right place, but now it’s hard to find people like that. And you just have to get kicked out without really understanding what what actually happened there and who is to blame.

              Dear, the management of the enterprise, just like the commander in the army, like the captain of the ship, is responsible for EVERYTHING that happens under its jurisdiction. I am not calling for mandatory expulsion, but there must be those responsible.
              PS: And now it’s more difficult to find hard workers, not management...

    So oil is not only in transformers...

    Well, okay, still lathe (they pour it so that there is no friction).
    But either way, it’s local, in concrete, the floor is concrete, there’s nowhere for the fire to spread.

    Enikmash-V produces unique press-forging equipment in single series, develops stamping equipment, technologies for metal forming and hot stamping. Conducts certification work and certification tests. Manufactures non-standard equipment and scrap processing equipment, individual components, assemblies, parts of a wide range, forgings in a volume of up to 60 pieces per month. Since 000, it has been supplying equipment for export. Maybe he did something for the defense industry. Specifically, what the burnt workshop produced. The causes of the fire will be investigated by the authorities competent in their field.

      That’s right, for sabotage it is not necessary to destroy purely military production. I immediately remembered the classic - Bad Kid and his task: “throw stones under the scythes, put spokes in the wheels.” Nothing new.
