At least three people were killed in a fire at a retirement home in the city of Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, Russia.

The Investigative Committee said in a statement that 34 people have been evacuated to safety after the private retirement home in the city of Krasnoyarsk caught fire early on August 28th.

According to one version, the fire occurred in the adjacent building and moved to the main building. The fire is supposed to have started from a nearby bathhouse.

In recent years, devastating fires have killed hundreds of people at retirement homes and other state facilities in Russia, such as drug treatment centers and orphanages.

The International Association of Fire and Rescue Services said there were thousands of fire deaths in Russia in 2014./.
