New Details on the Fire Erupted on Isakova Avenue

The fire that broke out in a furniture showroom on Isakova Avenue spread over an area of 450 square meters, with the second floor almost completely burned down. This was reported to NEWS.am by the brother of the showroom's owner.

He stated that he does not know how much property has been destroyed, but confirmed that there are no casualties among the staff. According to him, a showroom employee saw smoke and alerted the emergency services.

Currently, intact furniture is being removed from the showroom, while the area is being cleared of broken glass. The undamaged furniture is being transported to a storage area by trucks.

Staff members believe that the fire was caused by a short circuit. Eyewitnesses report that the premises had been rented for about a year.
