What: Krasnojarsk Cheremshanka Airport Terminal
Where: Russia
When: Dec 19th 2011
Who: no injuries or deaths reported
Why: 38 vehicles carrying a hundred firefighters responded to the scene of a fire at the Krasnojarsk Cheremshanka Airport but failed to save the airport’s tower. The first thing that caught fire was roof of the terminal, where it began, they suspect, with a short circuit. Then the fire spread until the terminal collapsed. It took four hours to put out the fire, but no one was injured. The airport was the hub for Katekavia Airlines and the base airport of the Siberian Regional Emergencies Department Centre.

One airport employee was evacuated by truck ladder. They were not hospitalized. The roof took five minutes to become engulfed.

Flights have been transferred to the neighboring Emelianovo airport.
