As a result, the oil caught fire, after which the fire spread to private homes in the village of Krasnoarmeiskoye. As reported in the regional department of the State Service for Emergency Situations, rescuers from burning houses evacuated 12 people. Fortunately, none of the people were hurt.

Now arriving at the site of the fire department is engaged in extinguishing houses, one of which has already been extinguished. The police continue to evacuate the villagers.

At the moment, 65 people and 20 pieces of equipment are working on the elimination of ignition. At the same time, the fire has spread to a thousand square meters.

According to Transneft's press secretary Igor Demin, at the moment oil pumping through the Kuybyshevsk-Tikhoretsk main oil pipeline is stopped.

The reason is difficult to establish because of the onset of fire.

Approximately 900 cubic meters of oil flowed, which spilled 1.5 kilometers in length, he explained, adding that because of the dousing fire there was a fire, as a result, two houses were on fire.

At the same time, the threat of oil to the Volga, which flows not far from the company, is considered unlikely, since the thickness of the ice is now 15 centimeters.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, December 26 in Libya there was a major fire in the pipeline.
