Fire Near the RefBelholod Base in Klin: Timeline and Facts
On December 19, 2025, a major fire broke out in Klin at a gas station located at the 84th km of Leningradskoye Highway. According to official information, the fire report was received at 00:46, and by 05:10 rescuers from the Moscow Region had fully eliminated the consequences of the incident.
For our team, this news was especially close to home: the RefBelholod base is located near the scene, and one of the two metal containers affected by the fire belonged to us. That is why we decided not to limit ourselves to a short mention, but to bring together the official facts and a live view from the scene in one article.
What is known from the official reports?
According to the Main Directorate of EMERCOM of Russia for the Moscow Region, the fire involved a fuel tanker, spilled fuel, a two-story cafe building with an extension, two metal containers, three passenger cars, as well as a tire service building and tires. The total fire area amounted to 689 sq. m.
Firefighters quickly localized the blaze: at 01:45 the fire was localized over an area of 289 sq. m, at 03:02 the open flames were extinguished, and at 05:10 the consequences of the fire were fully eliminated. According to official data, there were no injuries as a result of the incident.
How many resources were involved?
A total of 64 people and 23 units of equipment were involved in eliminating the incident. From EMERCOM of Russia, 27 personnel and 9 units of equipment were working at the scene. These figures clearly show the scale of the incident and the level of response by the emergency services.
Why is this story not just a formality for us?
When a fire happens not somewhere far away, but literally next to your base, the perception is completely different. It is no longer just a news report, but an event that directly affects the team. In our case, the situation was especially sensitive because one of the damaged containers belonged to RefBelholod.
That is why this article is not an attempt to dramatize the situation, but a way to honestly show what happened next to us, what the scene looked like, and why such events are perceived very differently when they affect your territory, property, and people.
Report from the scene
Our employee and reporter Anton was among the first to be near the scene of the incident. His emotions, first impressions, and the atmosphere of that night became part of a separate video report that allows viewers to see the situation not only through dry figures and official wording, but also through human perception.
This format matters because behind every timeline and every report there are always real people, the tension of the first minutes, and the attempt to quickly understand the scale of what is happening. That is exactly what makes a live report especially valuable.
Conclusion
The fire in Klin on December 19, 2025, became a serious incident, the consequences of which were fully eliminated by the morning. Official data makes it possible to reconstruct the exact timeline of events, while our report from the scene helps convey the atmosphere of what happened without unnecessary exaggeration.
If dry news is not enough for you and you want an inside view, watch the video from the scene. For the RefBelholod team, this is not just another headline in the news feed, but a story that happened literally next to us.
