MOSCOW: A huge fire broke out at a psychiatric hospital on the outskirts of Moscow on Friday that left at least 38 people dead.

The hospital that caught fire housed as many as 41 people, including medical staff. A nurse and two patients were the only survivors.

“The fire started when they were asleep,” a law enforcement source said, adding that people had little chance to escape.

“Some of them tried to escape but were poisoned by the products of combustion,” he said. The fire, meanwhile, has now been fully extinguished but the building “burned down almost completely.”
