The fire, as we are assured metropolitan officials, serious damage to the bell tower did not cause. One of the probable reasons of emergency – careless handling of fire. In the monastery were reconstructed.
To fight the fire, firefighters took almost three hours. It all started with the scaffolding at the top of the bell tower. According to him the fire spread down along almost half of the facade 72metrovoy belfry. But the interior of the flame is not affected, say in the MOE. Firefighters arrived within minutes. But have difficulties in extinguishing the fire. Arches are not allowed to bring Lifters with hydrants inside the monastery, so had to put out on the outside, said the deputy head of the main emergency department Alexander Gavrilov. He claims that the damage is small. Beams main bell group were not injured. Only the highest bar bells, said rescuers. The company representative said that the bell tower shortly before the state of emergency were works on the gilded dome. But the Ministry of Culture, by his order at the monastery was carried out restoration work, insist that they have completed 12 hours before the fire. Fire could occur by careless handling of fire do not exclude the metropolitan law enforcement. The same version and vice-mayor of Moscow Pyotr Biryukov. Historian George Davydov, communicating with RIA did not rule out that in case of fire in the bell tower of the Novodevichy Convent could suffer unique bell and dome covered with gold leaf.
