The family managed to exit the apartment safely. An initial investigation indicates that the fire started due to candles that were lit on top of a refrigerator.
The exact circumstances of the incident are under investigation.
The incident ended without any injuries, as the daughter’s quick alert allowed the apartment to be evacuated in time.
