В Петропавловске произошел масштабный пожар на складе древесины.

The incident occurred on January 26, 2025, in Petropavlovsk at a facility located on Kizatova Street.

"The fire started in a standalone garage where two trucks were parked. The blaze was contained over a preliminary area of 252 sq. m. There have been no reports of injuries," – stated the press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The agency noted that firefighting efforts were hampered by the high flammability of the materials, which posed a risk of rapid fire spread.

It was previously reported that a truck driver spent five days stranded on a highway in the Zhambyl region due to severe weather conditions. The fuel in the vehicle froze, and the man sought assistance from emergency services.
