A fire ripped through an old people’s home in Russia’s Siberia region, killing 22 people, and investigators are eyeing whether improper use of electrical equipment was to blame, news agencies said on Saturday.
The blaze in the city of Kemerovo broke out on Friday night and gutted the second floor of the building, which was not officially registered as a home for the elderly. It was out by the early hours when rescuers finished combing the rubble, state media and emergency services said.
