The 43-year-old Miass resident who died in the fire was a mother of many children.
Maria Ivanova's 17-year-old eldest daughter, Yekaterina, was not at home during the emergency. The victims, a 16-year-old brother and an 11-year-old sister, are now in the Chelyabinsk regional burn center, the girl told us.
Yekaterina said that her father works in a bakery, her mother was a housewife, and in the past she worked in the village of Chernovskoye on a farm as a milkmaid.
"In total there were five rooms in the house, my parents were just starting to furnish it, and they were just starting to build the second floor. The fire started in the afternoon, I was not at home, my father was at work. They say a gas cylinder exploded. He was standing in our kitchen and the oven ran away from him," Yekaterina told us.
