During May 3, 2026, eight fires were recorded in the Mykolaiv region. According to rescuers, half of them occurred in the residential sector.

In the village of Oleksandrivka of the Horokhiv community in Bashtanka district, an outbuilding caught fire. The flames covered an area of 70 sq.m. Another structure burned in Mykolaiv — there the fire area amounted to 5 sq.m.

Rescuers also extinguished blazes in buildings that are currently not in use. Such fires occurred in the village of Kinetspil of the Pervomaisk community in Pervomaisk district, where the fire spread over 30 sq.m, and also in Mykolaiv — over an area of 10 sq.m.
