Shymkent Laborer experiences severe burn injuries
In the heart of Shymkent, a fiery spectacle unfolded on Tolemetov Street, as a tower crane went up in flames. Although the city's emergency services department confirmed the blaze covered roughly 4 square meters, they're yet to pinpoint the exact cause[1].
As reported unofficially by various sources, it's said to be an electrical short circuit that sparked the fire. Our sources also report that a man born in 1981, a worker at the site, suffered burns and was rushed to the Orynbaev Hyperbaric Oxygenation Center[2]. Fortunately, his condition appears to be stable at this moment[3].
In terms of the extent of the burns, he has sustained second and third-degree thermal burns, affecting approximately 16% of his body. Specifically, these burns are located on his head, face, neck, body, and both hands[4].
