The head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of St. Petersburg, Alexey Anikin, said that the premises of the Panse company burned down – there was production on the first floor, a warehouse on the second. Firefighters immediately after arriving at the scene were forced to lay hose lines – there was no water nearby, the nearest hydrants were 1.5 and 1.6 km away.
