/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The fire that burst out in the Armenian chemicals
plant Nairit on early December 24 was localized at 11.30 p.m. According
to Assistant Director of the Rescue Service at the RA Ministry of
Territorial Administration Nikolay Grigoryan said 11 fire brigades
were engaged in extinguishing. No one was killed or injured and there
is no danger for people’s health. The rescuers said the fire was of
the third degree of complexity.
The fire burst out on December 24 morning. Two reservoirs with 300 tons
of ethanol were burning. The chemicals giant did not suffer material
losses. A substance that is eliminated by burning in technological
conditions has burnt by itself. No criminal case was initiated since
the substance can ignite spontaneously if kept for a long time,
