Ozon worker recounts escaping deadly depot fire

Employees at a warehouse, which was engulfed by flames outside Moscow, spoke about the blaze on Wednesday as officials confirmed that at least one person was killed and 13 others were injured from the inferno.

The fire, which erupted at the building belonging to Russia's leading online retailer Ozon, covered an area of 50,000 square meters. Huge plumes of black smoke rose into the skies over the area near the town of Istra northwest of Moscow. Russia's Emergencies Ministry said two fire helicopters were involved in efforts to extinguish the blaze. Officials haven't said what triggered the fire, but investigators were looking at arson as the most likely cause.
