On Sunday, 23 August, in Lviv a 24-year-old man died during a fire at a pharmacy on Trakt Hlyniany Street. The fire caused a strong flash of medications and aerosols.
This was reported by Lviv Portal.
The first to report the incident was Member of Parliament of the Lviv City Council and Varta-1 coordinator Ihor Zinkevych.
According to him, at about 07:00 an explosion occurred inside the pharmacy located next to the Gradus store. At that time preliminary information emerged that the pharmacist had died.
Later the details of the tragedy were recounted by the Lviv City Council. According to the council’s preliminary data, the likely cause of the fire was electrical.
The area of the fire was about 30 m². As the fire spread, the flames engulfed shelves where aerosols and alcohol-containing medicinal products were stored. It was the ignition of these that caused a flash inside, which locals could have perceived as an explosion.
The city council confirmed that as a result of the fire a 24-year-old man died.
22 rescuers and five units of special equipment were involved in extinguishing the fire. All relevant services are working on site.
