  1. Can we presume that hot, unburnt fuel is raining down on the town? It must look like the definition of hell – if you could see it through all the smoke. Oh well.

  2. Note to self – don’t buy or build a house next to a petrochemical storage facility.

  3. maybe help with some soldiers there, they really aren’t really good in soldiering anyway

  4. As far as I can see, the closest cluster of houses in Proletarsk is about 1.5 km away from the nearest tanks. If they caught fire purely from radiant heat, that’s really something. But from what I’ve seen, it’s pretty common for rural Russian houses to be sheathed in wooden planks, and the grass and scrub between the tank farm and the town must be tinder-dry due because it’s summer.

  5. what are they doing? its been almost week this is insane, if they can’t get close maybe start using helicopters with water buckets?

  6. Hopefully the war starts significantly effecting the lives of everyday Russians, maybe then they will start to question their mob boss Putler and his gang!

  7. This fire has lasted longer than the “special military operation” was supposed to last.

  8. That hose is just pissing in the wind, Russian fire trucks aren’t much better that the old early ’50s Green Goddess fire trucks used in the UK during the firefighter’s strikes. Modern fire engines can throw 6000-8000 litres per minute and when Buncefield caught fire, 25 fire engines were used and that included using three foam tankers to smother the blaze. Buncefield took five days to extinguish and I was stuck on the M1 at Hemel Hempstead watching it. I worked for Shell at the time and rang HQ to as if it was a Shell terminal, to be told that it was Total.
