- Description:On May 21, 2026, in Surgut, Russia, a security video captured a dangerous incident involving a resident whose power bank caught fire inside an elevator on Krylova Street. In the video, a woman enters the elevator and presses the button when smoke suddenly begins coming from her bag. Moments later, the device ignites, filling the cabin with smoke and causing her to panic. She repeatedly presses the emergency controls, and the elevator doors eventually open, allowing her to escape before the fire spreads further. According to reports from the Ministry of Emergency Situations of KhMAO-Yugra, the fire started when a portable battery in her bag ignited shortly after entering the elevator. Authorities confirmed that the incident did not result in serious consequences, and no fire crew intervention was required. Officials also reminded the public to avoid handling fires inside elevators, to use emergency call systems, and not to attempt to force doors open in dangerous situations.
