This was reported by the press service of the regional State Emergency Service, Censor.NET informs.
"The fire engulfed about 800 square metres of solid waste. Thirty-one rescuers are working at the scene, and nine vehicles are involved.

At 23:51, the fire was contained over an area of 1.3 hectares.
At the same time, the Zhytomyr City Hall decided to temporarily change the operation of educational institutions:
- Today, Zhytomyr schools work in a remote format;

All competitions and training sessions of sports schools scheduled for the open air are cancelled.
