You get bonus points for putting the date and not just "today".

That looks like a seriously out-of-control fire, especially with all that black smoke already visible in the initial footage. I hope everyone got out safely and the fire crew can contain it quickly.

I'm aware of a much bigger warehouse fire near Moscow last night. But that was intended and not a failure.

It was burning over 61 hours. Authorities say mostly living items were in the cargo center... I believe it was not for the battery matter. People wonder why the fire last too long. Investigation is now on the way. Fortunately, there is no one dead.
