The medical building of the clinic's cardiac surgery was inspected in April 2015.

“In the course of this inspection, a number of violations of fire safety requirements were revealed, and an order was issued to eliminate violations of fire safety requirements.

Fire safety requirements have been partially eliminated, "- quotes the response of the press service of the department to the corresponding request from TASS.

Then 47 violations were recorded, most of which related to the inadequate state of the escape routes and cable lines of the warning system and evacuation control in case of fire.

At the same time, as the Ministry of Emergency Situations specified, in the event of a fire on April 2, a warning and evacuation control system was triggered, which made it possible to quickly evacuate everyone.

On the morning of April 2, 67 patients were evacuated from the Blagoveshchensk cardiology center after a fire on the roof.

During the incident, an operation was being carried out at the center, which was successfully completed.

Doctors who successfully performed coronary artery bypass grafting during a fire received letters of thanks from residents of the Amur Region.

Anesthesiologist, resuscitator, perfusionist Georgy Kondratov told in an interview with kp.ru about the reaction of the rescued patient to the news about the fire in the cardiology center.
