In Volyn, a church nearly burned down again. This happened in the village of Oziutychi, in the Lokachyn district. Around 2 PM, the Orthodox Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos, which belongs to the Kyiv Patriarchate, caught fire. Fortunately, a local resident, Volodymyr Herasymchuk, was nearby turning hay. The windows of the "palamarka" (the premises, the room of the palamar) faced the field where he was working. Seeing the smoke and flames bursting from there, he rushed home and told his wife to call the fire department by phone. Meanwhile, Volodymyr gathered people to help him put out the fire. The help of firefighters was more than necessary, because Naberezhna Street, where the church is located, has no water supply. The water tower, according to the villagers, has long been out of order. Therefore, people put out the fire with water taken from wells. However, this was not enough, and water began to be brought in barrels on carts, on wagons, and carried in buckets by hand all the way from distant streets where the water supply was working. Only when firefighters from Lokachi, Torchyn, Volodymyr-Volynskyi, Zaturtsi, and Shelviv arrived at the scene was the flame localized. As reported in the regional emergency management department, the fire damaged the walls of the palamarka and the altar, as well as church items. "The likely cause of the disaster was candle stubs," reported senior inspector of the 15th independent state fire unit Ruslan Lyshuk, "which were carelessly left in a cardboard box. One or several of them were probably not extinguished." Now the village head and the community will have something to think about, and eventually the water supply in Oziutychi will work properly. After all, the fire could have destroyed the church, which has just turned 10 years old. By the way, the church in Oziutychi is already the third in the region
