Today in Odesa, on Rishelievska Street, flames engulfed the roof and apartments on the third floor of a three-story residential building.

The challenge in extinguishing the fire arose from cars parked at the fire hydrants, making it difficult to access water sources.

The fire spread rapidly through the wooden structures of the building.

Firefighters managed to prevent the flames from spreading to nearby structures.

Currently, there are no reported casualties or injuries.

Twenty units of firefighting equipment and 67 firefighters from the State Emergency Service were deployed to the scene.

Experts from the Odesa regional fire laboratory are investigating the cause of the fire on-site.
