Another four people are being treated for severe burns following the blaze in Kosiv, Western Ukraine, on Tuesday.



According to officials, it began when a candle was lit by a member of staff near five oxygen concentrators – which instantly caught fire.
It is the latest in a number of deadly hospital fires during the pandemic.
Pure oxygen in cylinders which are commonly found in hospitals – and have been heavily relied on to treat Covid-19 patients – is highly flammable.
The local prosecutors office is investigating the incident, Interfax news agency reported. According to a statement, the people who died were two women and a man, while three doctors suffered burns.
In February, there were two deadly hospital fires in Ukraine.
