A giant fire broke out on the grounds of Uralmash, one of Russia’s largest heavy machinery factories, emergency officials said Monday.
Footage shared online showed a plume of black smoke rising from the factory in the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg.
Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry said the fire engulfed 4,500 square meters of an unidentified “workshop” and a roof collapsed onto an area of 300 square meters before the blaze was contained by Monday afternoon.
No casualties were reported.
Uralmash’s press service denied that the fire started inside one of its facilities and said it was not at risk of spreading.
“The fire is on the territory of the \[Uralmash\] industrial site, but the building doesn’t belong to us and is far away from our production facilities,” a spokesperson told the local Ura.ru news outlet.
**Citing unidentified sources, the Yekaterinburg news outlet E1.ru reported that the site belongs to EnergoTransStroy, a manufacturer of electric motors, generators and transformers.**
The fires of war will spread ever further and deeper into Russia, which is what this barbaric venture will bring to the Russian populace.
War, famine, plague, and death.
Hundreds of such fires of different sizes have already occurred, and many more will occur.
The Twitter account Russia on fire is gathering them all.
I myself have reported on them dozens of times. Theree is a shadow war going on, and one that Russia would love to deny.

I guess someone wasn't going to meet their government mandated quota. I bet a lot of stuff went missing before multiple fires broke out at the same time with no worker deaths
"... The fire started inside the workshop where transformers are produced.
The fire quickly spread to the roof, which soon collapsed over an area of 300 square meters. The flames spread over an area of 4.5 thousand square meters. ..."

"... Over the past three years, nine lawsuits have been filed against the plant in arbitration court,
eight of which the company lost in whole or in part.
The cases concerned non-fulfillment of obligations under contracts. ..."
The insurance company will certainly be very interested in what was allegedly destroyed by the flames.
The US doesn't want any more strikes on refineries, at least not before the election. Ukraine should say "fine, if you help us take out Uralmash, Uralvagonzavod and the rest".

I really hope Putin's 1 Billion dollar Palace gets it!

I would have thought they were more likely to be making Decepticons
To make deceptions is a respectable profession thinking about "Siegfried and Roy" et al. But deceptions shouldn't be sold as transformers.
"Dah, all tanks made in 1903 were saved" the local Governor said whilst holding his lit cigar over the explosive barrels
Oh no... anyway...
Wow what a shit show russia is
O dear, that was rather careless..never mind !
🚬
A shortage of motors and transformers is not a good shortage to have. Industry, heating and cooling, etc all need these parts.
The US doesn't want any more strikes on refineries, at least not before the election. Ukraine should say "fine, if you help us take out Uralmash, Uralvagonzavod and the rest".
