Fire at Moscow Art Market Kills Woman

A fire swept through Moscow's sprawling Izmailovsky art market, leaving one person dead.

A woman died from inhaling poisonous fumes, an official at the Emergency Situations Ministry said. Witnesses said a second woman was hurt when she jumped from an upper story to escape the flames.

The Moscow prosecutor's office said it suspected arson. One firefighter complained of a lack of water at the site.

"Do you really expect there to be hydrants and extinguishers? This is Russia -- people don't give a damn," said the firefighter, Vladimir Tensky.
