During the extinguishing of the fire, rescuers discovered the bodies of a husband and wife — a 58-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman, reports the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
One of the eyewitnesses told the investigator that she noticed smoke in the neighboring house and saw the owner breaking windows.
Running closer, the woman saw that there was a child inside. The neighbor handed her two-year-old grandson to her, after which no one saw her again due to the fire.
The boy is currently in intensive care.
