According to Russian media sources the incident is currently under investigation by the state prosecutor's office.
According to APA's Russian bureau, there is currently no available information regarding the number of casualties or injuries caused by the fire.
The fire took hold of the 50 thousand square metre site and required hundreds of firefighters to bring it under control.

Learn the difference between conscription, which happens 2X per year in Russia, is universal, and has taken place each year for decades — and mobilization, which was announced in September.
The Russian presidential election is March 15-17. There are 15 people on the ballot, 6 are individuals and 9 were nominated by their political party.
There is a pro Western party that is named Russia of the Future. It is not registered because another party of the same name already exists and is registered. For reasons unknown they have never attempted to register under a different name.
This is the party of Navalny, currently in prison for parole violation. He was convicted of money laundering charge with a French company in 2014. He was sentenced to 3 1/2 years of prison, but that sentence was suspended and he was allowed to remain free under probation.
He then declared himself poisoned and was treated in Russia. He then left the Russian treatment and walked to an airport and got on a plane for Germany, where he received treatment. Leaving Russia was a violation of his probation.
He returned to Russia and was arrested for parole violation. The suspended sentence of 3 1/2 years was suspended, but several months of it was declared served for the time he was in Russia and reported to his parole officer. He is expected to serve about 2 years.
His party, under any name, has won 0 seats in Parliament.

Yeah and 90% are Russian shills and invasion cheerleaders.
You disguised your source and the Russian propaganda warning:
The cause of the fire at the Wildberries warehouse has been revealed
Lenta.RU - 04:03
The preliminary cause of the fire at the Wildberries warehouse in St. Petersburg is a faulty electrical wiring, operational services said. The situation was aggravated by the disabled fire alarm, which was associated with multiple false alarms. The fire is still being extinguished; its area is 70 thousand square meters.

You are giving them too much credit, for I see no evidence that they have ever broken the single digit ceiling that constrains them mentally.
(50,000)/(0.3048)^2 = 538,196
0.3048 meters per foot
0.3048 x 0.3048 meters-squared per square foot.
Still only about 12.4 acres, not 25.
43560 square feet per acre.

Actually, 538,195.5210000001 sq ft. to be exact, but who’s counting. 🙂
Before Christmas, police raided a Wildberries packing centre in Tula, south of Moscow, in an operation to detain migrant workers and send them to fight in Ukraine. Could be you’re you’re the one doing propaganda?

Funny how you’re on a first-name basis with the late dictator of Russia.
This is written, without any supporting evidence, in the same coyote style of Uke Propaganda. It may have been hit by a Ukrainian Missile. It may have been started by a supporter or terrorist from Ukraine.
I guess it's tough for the cheerleaders to do the math to determine truths. It sounds good, so they run with the propaganda. It also speaks volumes about their sources who apparently can't do the math either to at least cover themselves as far as accuracy is concerned.
The owner of the warehouse is Pro-War, and the police have raided his warehouse to send migrants to fight his war. I personally don’t care what Russia does. Or Ukraine, but I would check my facts before commenting Instead of just assuming Russia is unfallowable.
Total BS. The Russians mobilized 300,000 in addition to the 400,000 who have volunteered in the last two years. The press gangs are the ones filling the Uke Volkssturm with boys and grandfathers. Eventually you’ll flee this sinking ship of globohomo rats.
To convert square meters to acres, you can use the conversion factor: 1 acre = 4046.86 square meters.
So, for 50,000 square meters:
\[ \text{Acres} = \frac{\text{Square Meters}}{4046.86} \]
\[ \text{Acres} = \frac{50000}{4046.86} \approx 12.35 \]
Therefore, 50,000 square meters is approximately 12.35 acres.
