According to initial information, the fire started from a room on the third floor where two 14-year-old boys lived.

They are students at the Sports School and practice wrestling. 

When the fire broke out, they were not in the room, but in training.

According to the firefighters, during the inspection, the fire started from one of the beds.

The boys explained that there was a battery and a phone charger plugged in there.

It is likely that one of the devices started the fire, which engulfed the bed and the entire room.

In the meantime, an emergency team had to be called because one of the educators, who was in the dormitory at the time of the incident, went into shock.

He was taken to a hospital for examination.
