Firefighters deploy helicopters to battle fire at Ozon warehouse in Kolpino

Firefighting helicopters were deployed to extinguish a blaze at an Ozon warehouse in the Kolpino district of St. Petersburg, producing thick white smoke over the facility. The operational choice allows response teams to manage the fire without placing personnel directly at risk inside the structure. Casualties and the cause of the fire have not been reported.
