A fire broke out at 8:00 p.m. on Monday in the Federation Tower skyscraper, located in Moscow City, a cluster of modern high-rise office buildings. 02.04.2012, Sputnik International
Moscow firefighters, who initially had to climb on foot to the 66th floor to set up water pumping systems, were later joined by three Ka-32 and a Mi-26 helicopters in a valiant effort to put out the blaze.
The fire has been fueled by the insulation, tarpaulins and other construction supplies and materials located on the top floors of the unenclosed structure, and has been fanned by high winds.
Moscow City business center is located about a kilometer from the Russian government White House.
