ISHBULDINO, Russia — A fire has killed 11 seniors in a private retirement home in Russia’s Republic of Bashkortostan.<\/p>\n

The Emergency Situations Ministry’s branch in Bashkortostan said on December 15 that the fire swept through the retirement house in the village of Ishbuldino overnight.<\/p>\n

According to the ministry, the house did not have a proper fire alarm system.<\/p>\n

Firefighters found the bodies of 11 elderly people who lived in the retirement house, the ministry said.<\/p>\n

Ildar Nafikov, governor of the Abzhalil district where Ishbuldino is located, said a state of emergency had been imposed in the district, adding that 16 elderly persons were residing in the retirement house permanently.<\/p>\n

Nafikov\u2019s deputy, Ruslan Yusupov, said that although the nursing house was functioning legally, it was only supposed to be in use during the daytime.<\/p>\n

The Investigative Committee said there were 15 people inside the building when the fire broke out, of whom four managed to escape.<\/p>\n

The committee also said that it had launched a probe into the deadly fire.<\/p>\n

Deadly fires caused by violations of safety regulations or faulty wiring are common in Russia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
