The fire broke out at about 9 am on the fourth floor of a five-story building in an alley between Novy Arbat and Nikitskie Vorota square. The residents of the house were urgently evacuated. The firefighters who arrived almost immediately managed to completely cope with the flame in 40 minutes.
As it turned out later, the fire took place in one of the nine rooms of Alibasov’s apartments. The owner of the house was not there, he left a few minutes before the incident. But just before the start of the fire, his son and guests came there. According to Alibasov Jr., the wiring at the computer in his father’s darkroom suddenly sparkled, and while they ran after the fire extinguisher, the fire quickly spread throughout the room. People urgently had to evacuate, but in a hurry, Bari Alibasov’s beloved cat was forgotten, who eventually died in smoke and fire.
Only the celebrity’s office remained untouched by the fire. The home recording studio burned to the ground. According to experts, the apartment cannot be restored, but it was insured, and Alibasov Sr. is going to apply to the insurance company for damages in the near future.
And in early September in Hollywood, a fire completely burned down the house that belonged to actor Jack Nicholson.
