Forty people were evacuated from the plant's grounds following the outbreak of the blaze, the report said. Emergency crews were continuing to search for four additional people who had not yet been accounted for.

The available reporting does not specify the cause of the fire, its size, or whether anyone has been injured. It also does not identify the chemical plant by name or describe what materials were being handled on site at the time.
Sergiyev Posad is a district in the Moscow region, and industrial fires in the area typically draw a rapid emergency services response given the potential for hazardous materials to be involved.
