Firefighters responded to a report of black smoke and the smell of ashes emanating from a structure on Draugystės street around 2:49 p.m. Upon arrival, emergency personnel encountered significant smoke accumulation within the stairwell. The origin of the smoke was traced to the first floor of an adjacent agricultural building.
Fire crews successfully extinguished the fire on the ground floor of the agricultural building. However, reports indicated that the third floor of the structure remained actively involved in the fire. A pattern of smoke infiltration was noted across multiple levels of the surrounding building.
Specifically, smoke was reported on the second through tenth floor. In each of these upper floors, the smoke source was consistently linked back to the first floor of the agricultural building. Furthermore, debris, including piles of garbage and three tires, were observed on these affected floors.
The initial investigation focused on containing the blaze originating on the first floor. Despite efforts to control the fire at the source, the smoke permeated several subsequent floors of the building. The consistent presence of smoke and debris across multiple stories suggests that the initial incident on the first floor had a widespread impact on the structural integrity and air quality of the surrounding building.
