According to a report from Mosregtoday on March 10th, a boarding school in St. Petersburg, Russia caught fire due to an e-cigarette. The school is located on Malo-Ochtinski Prospekt, and the fire resulted in injury to a 15-year-old boy who has been hospitalized for treatment.

 

The fire originated from a mattress on the second floor of the dormitory. The local fire department dispatched 15 employees to the scene and successfully evacuated 16 students.
