Danas Bendoraitis, the elder of the Plokščiai ward, to which the village of Siaustuvėliai belongs, told the portal lrytas.lt that this tragedy befell the ordinary people of the village.
A family with three small children lived on the second floor of the building that was destroyed by the fire. The first floor of this building was equipped with utility rooms where potatoes and various vegetables are stored.
The building with its living quarters was located in the yard of the house of the parents of the woman who was injured in the fire.
Together with her life partner, this woman raised three children.
At the time of the accident, a woman was at home with her one-year-old daughter and two-year-old son. The older four-year-old girl, like the children’s father, was outside at the time.
What caused this fire can only be guessed at this time.
According to Elder D. Bendoraitis, everything happened very quickly, there was a lot of smoke.
It is assumed that the fire could spread so quickly in the living quarters due to the wood and plastic used in the furnishing of the premises.
