Five containers at Alatau 2 flea market section were on fire at night on December 12. The total area of fire made 150 square meters. Fire was extinguished within almost two hours by 107 firefighters and 34 fire engines of firefighting service of Almaty's Emergency Situations Department. No casualties were reported. Before that Alatau 2 section was on fire on November 26. Careless handling of fire reportedly caused the accident. The fire started in a container with sport goods, after the seller left a burning candle in the container, and fire moved to the boxes.
