Emergency Situations Ministry employees arrived at the scene and quickly extinguished the fire. The fire managed to damage wreaths and other funeral decorations that were on the grave.
According to a preliminary version, the cause of the fire could have been a forgotten lit lamp. The final circumstances of the incident are still being investigated.
Just recently, on Radunitsa (Remembrance Day), a similar incident occurred in one of the Hrodna cemeteries.
