Overview
- Regional emergency officials concluded a dichlorvos aerosol can left on the stovetop overheated after a dog turned the burner on, noting teeth marks on the knobs.
- Police’s earlier preliminary explanation that a camping gas cylinder exploded was revised after the inspection by the emergency service.
- The explosion blew out the apartment’s entrance door and shattered glass in interior and balcony doors, and the kitchen range was damaged.
- The fire self-extinguished, leaving minor scorching to wallpaper and cabinetry, and no people or the pet were injured.
- A safety advisory urged residents to switch off appliances when leaving, block stove controls from children and animals, and keep items off burners, as hallway video posted by Mash Siberia showed the door blown open.
