This was reported by the regional department of the State Emergency Service, according to Ukrinform.

It is noted that on September 21, a fire broke out on the territory of an equestrian club in one of the villages in the Zaporizhzhia district.

At the scene, rescuers found that a single-story warehouse with an area of 1,000 square meters was on fire, with the fire covering 500 square meters. Extinguishing the fire was complicated by the burning of a large amount of stored hay, which posed a threat of the fire spreading.
