“Briefly about the situation in Ekibastuz: here, they are trying to revive the pipes with fire. Here is the wood. Moreover, so that you understand, all these people are not workers of some kind of state district power plant or something - they are ordinary local residents who left their house, cut firewood, and are trying to warm the pipes with improvised means, ”Niyazov said in the video.
The footage shows that the residents are trying to unfreeze the pipes, not only kindling firewood but also placing a large cylinder of household gas under the burner. At the same time, one of the men in the video continuously pours flames from a hand burner directly onto the gas cylinder.
