Fire in Nerqin Ptghni Village: One Citizen in Serious Condition with Burns

On April 29, at 14:06, the emergency service 911 received a call reporting that a cradle was burning in one of the houses on the 1st street of a dead-end alley in the village of Nerqin Ptghni, Kotayk Province. There was a reported injury, and assistance from rescuers was required.

A firefighting and rescue team from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, an operational group from the National Crisis Management Center, and a junior instructor from the psychological support division were dispatched to the scene.

Before the rescuers arrived, local residents had extinguished the fire. In the first-floor bedroom of the two-story house (owner: P.K.), a wooden cradle, mattress, blanket, quilt, and approximately 1 square meter of linoleum partially burned. As a result of the incident, A.H. (born in 2018) sustained burns. The child was transported by residents to the Arabkir Medical Complex and later to the Scientific Center of Radiation Medicine and Burns. Doctors assessed A.H.'s health condition as serious.

The junior instructor from the psychological support division provided appropriate psychological assistance to the resident of the house, M.K. (born in 1956), at the scene and subsequently to the child's relatives at the Scientific Center of Radiation Medicine and Burns.
