Garbage, containers and houses: rescue workers in the Mykolaiv region face another "hot" day
On April 17, 2026, on the territory of Mykolaiv Oblast, units of the State Emergency Service extinguished seven fires of various types.
The most serious blaze occurred in Mykolaiv — on the grounds of a private residential property two residential houses and an outbuilding were burning. The fire covered an area of 160 sq. m, but rescuers managed to prevent the complete destruction of two more residential buildings. As a result of the fire, the roof, furniture, flooring, and electrical wiring were damaged, and the walls of the rooms were blackened by soot.
In addition, firefighters were dispatched five more times to extinguish rubbish — incidents were recorded in Mykolaiv, as well as in the Voznesensk and Bashtanka districts. In some cases plastic garbage containers burned — the total area of such fires amounted to 4 sq. m. The causes of all the fires are currently being investigated.
The State Emergency Service deployed 38 rescuers and 14 pieces of equipment.
Additionally, firefighters of the local fire brigade “Buzke“, as well as emergency crews “Mykolaivoblenergo” and PJSC “Mykolaivgaz”, were also operating.
