- Story Text: Russian firefighters battled for 14 hours on Sunday (February 25) to extinguish a fierce fire which started at a tyre factory in Moscow.
The blaze, on Sharikopodshipnikovskaya street, was brought under control without loss of life or injury.
Efforts to put out the fire continued for most of Sunday.
Fifty fire engines and a helicopter were sent to the scene.
It was feared that burning chemicals stored at the factory would produce poisonous gases, threatening to pollute the area.
The cause of the fire was not yet known.
