To recall, on August 19, a fire broke out at the Dzyunik Sarnaran Cold storage warehouse. As Minister of Emergency Situations of Armenia Feliks Tsolakyan stated in an interview with reporters, the whole difficulty in extinguishing a fire lies in the building itself. "There are practically no windows in this building, in turn, it has very thick walls, assembled from light materials, which are covered with cement on top. Thus, the fire covered the walls themselves," F. Tsolakyan emphasized. Thanks to the efforts of the staff of the Ministry of Emergencies of Armenia, only a part of various goods stored in the warehouse was removed from the fire. 12 combat operations of the Ministry of Emergencies of Armenia worked on the spot. The fire extinguishing operation was carried out under the personal control of the Minister of Emergency Situations of Armenia.
