A resident of the Petrogradsky district of St. Petersburg decided to start mining cryptocurrencies, but did not provide for a cooling system for the equipment, which led to a fire, reports the Izvestia.78 portal.

According to the press service of the city Ministry of Emergency Situations, the report of the incident in a seven-room communal apartment on the embankment of the Karpovka River was received on November 24 at 22:13 Moscow time.. Four pieces of equipment and 16 personnel arrived at the scene..

The fire was extinguished after 40 minutes. 35-year-old miner was hospitalized with burns to his hands, back and neck.

In December 2019, a mining farm in Vologda, installed in a garage box, burned down. Then the Ministry of Emergency Situations also said that the cause of the fire was the failure to comply with the requirements for cooling equipment..

In February 2019, a fire in a mining farm in Primorsky Artyom led to the destruction of seven apartments. Its owner carried out an illegal redevelopment in the attic adjacent to his apartment, where he placed the equipment. The amount of damage was estimated at 53 million rubles.
