“The building was equipped with a fire alarm system; at the time of the fire, the system worked normally,” the head of the department noted.
In addition, according to Kurenkov, the fire extinguishing system worked.
He noted that the automatic fire extinguishing system included four robotic barrels and a software control system.
At the same time, they were unable to put out the fire due to the large area of the fire, since the terrorists used gasoline, Kurenkov clarified.
Earlier, President Vladimir Putin at the meeting thanked employees and soldiers of the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian National Guard and the Ministry of Defense for detaining those involved in the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall.
According to him, Russian society, against the backdrop of the terrorist attack in the Crocus near Moscow, showed real unity and solidarity.
