Woman jumps out of window with her son to escape from fire

A tragedy occurred in Padsville, Hlybokaye District, in the afternoon of February 18. A two-floor house caught fire there.

A young woman and her 8-months son were in the second floor when the fire started. The wooden staircase was on fire and collapsed. The woman took her baby and jumped out of the window. Her 48-year-old father who saw the fire on his way home rushed into the building a few seconds before. He died.

The woman got a few factures and was taken to hospital. The baby got poisoned on carbon monoxide.

A short circuit probably caused the fire.
