A new, fourth fire broke out at the oil depot in Proletarsk on Sunday: the fire spread to tanks in the western part of the depot
This is indicated by a satellite image taken at 14:41 local time on Sunday. The fire reached the fourth row of tanks from the left. According to one version of Russian Telegram channels, explosive kerosene may be stored in this part of the oil depot.
The Kavkaz oil depot of Rosrezerv near the city of Proletarsk in the Rostov region was attacked by Ukrainian drones on August 18. Another strike, according to unconfirmed reports, was carried out after the fire had already started, on August 23. Dozens of firefighters were injured while trying to put out the fire. Smoke from the fire stretches into the sky for more than 60 kilometers, but the authorities of the Rostov region say that there is no threat to human health or deterioration in air quality.

Fire at Rosrezerv oil depot in Proletarsk on satellite image: day nine
Satellite images of the fire at the Rosrezerv oil depot in the Rostov region taken on Monday, August 26, show that the flames have died down a little, and the fires have been localized. Judging by the fact that the two fires are located at a fairly large distance from each other, another drone strike on the oil depot on August 23 may indeed have been carried out, as Russian sources wrote.
Bro how much oil is even in there. How long should it be taking for the whole thing to go up if it’s just burning???
In 2005, an oil depot in the UK caught fire, over 20 massive tanks. It took 2 days to put out.
Last year in Guinea, a fire at a storage site took 9 days to put out.
I’ll let the reader decide whether they judge Russia roughly as capable as the UK, or as Guinea. And then add the fact that in neither of those examples was there someone setting off more explosions…
it’s an oil depot… it could burn for months
I mean, in the US there is a coal mine that has been burning since at least 1962 so not surprised that an oil depot can go for a couple of weeks
btw, Nothing But Trouble is pretty much set in Centralia….
also, the best movie ever made… and Tupac’s debut….

Oh lord. russian “authorities” have just slightly less trustworthiness than the extended car warranty phone scammers.
Hi, we’ve been trying to contact you about your oil depots extended smoke plume
They didn’t say which exactly human health is not threatened, so all is good and correct as I’m sure there’s at least one senile psychopath who’s safe from that smoke.
Are they low on the specialised foam?
