According to Trend, employees of the State Fire Protection Service of the Ministry of Emergencies were dispatched to the scene after the “112” hotline received preliminary information about a fire on the roof of the administrative building of the State Border Service Academy on Ganja Avenue, Khatai District, Baku.
The building was evacuated.
The fire, which broke out at around 4.40 pm in the main building of the State Border Service Academy, was eventually extinguished.
Ten medical brigades of the Baku City Emergency and Urgent Medical Aid Station subordinated to TABIB were involved in the area, the news outlet reported.
