A battery-operated children's toy exploded in the middle of the night in an apartment in Volgograd, causing a fire.
The owner of the property, Victoria, told about the incident on social media. The woman woke up around two in the morning and saw a fire in the middle of the room. The flames engulfed a baby carriage full of toys.
She woke up her husband. He took the burning things into the bathroom and put them out. None of the family members were injured, but the apartment was damaged.
According to Victoria, the fire could have started from an old toy with batteries. She urged parents to check such products, especially if the case is damaged, moisture has penetrated or contacts have oxidized.
