The warehouse’s owner, Wildberries, said in a statement that all its staff had been evacuated and there were no injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many jumped from the second and third floors directly onto the concrete, because there was a strong crush at the emergency exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was not immediately clear what sparked the massive blaze, which spread to cover 70,000 square meters, or over 750,000 square feet. The fire was rated as a category five, the most serious. Officials said that firefighters had succeeded in halting it from spreading further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the encroaching flames, a guard continued to inspect the workers to make sure they were not stealing anything, Baza added. Eventually, they ignored the guard and squeezed past him to the exit.
