Authorities responding to fire at hotel complex in Tolyatti, Samara Oblast, Russia, as of early Feb. 11; lingering disruptions likely.
Authorities are responding to a fire at the Zhara Beach Resort Hotel in Tolyatti, Samara Oblast, as of early Feb. 11. The blaze has injured at least two people. An unspecified number of staff and visitors have reportedly evacuated the facility.
A heightened security presence will almost certainly remain in place around the hotel complex until the fire is extinguished and authorities complete any subsequent investigative work. Transport and business disruptions are likely in the affected area over the coming hours.
Avoid the incident site until the fire is extinguished and authorities vacate the scene. Seek alternative routes to circumvent the affected area and any disruptions. Consider remaining indoors if heavy smoke is in your area, especially if you suffer from a respiratory illness, such as asthma, or conditions that lead to increased risk from smoke exposure. Eye irritation is possible; flush irritated eyes with copious amounts of clean water. Heed all instructions issued by local officials.
