Three children were poisoned by carbon monoxide in a fire in the village of Okhtoy, Ziminsky District. According to the data of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, yesterday a 26-year-old mother left her children at home and went to the store. While the adults were gone, a three-year-old boy scooped the burning coals from the stove. They hit a cardboard box, from which the flame spread to the wall. The frightened boy managed to run out into the street with his five-year-old sister. Their one-year-old sister stayed at home. By this time the parents had already returned home. When he noticed the smoke, the father rushed inside, took out his young daughter, and then put out the fire. The three children were taken to the hospital.
