The fire occurred on the evening of March 7 in a private house in the village of Bolshie Uki.

“According to preliminary data, the first fire and smoke in the house was noticed by the 23-year-old husband, who was able to take his 5-month-old son out of the house, but he could not return to the burning house because of strong smoke and fire blocking the path.

The fire killed his 25-year-old wife and two children: a 5-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy, ”the UK said in a statement.

Earlier, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case in connection with the death of three people as a result of a fire in a multi-storey building in Ufa.
