 MOSCOW, May 2 (AFP) - A fire fueled by high winds swept through the
northern Russian town of Kologriv on Wednesday, destroying 18 houses but
causing no casualties, ITAR-TASS news agency reported. The blaze
spread quickly throughout the town's homes despite efforts by
firefighters to douse the flames. They succeeded in putting out the fire
four hours later, ITAR-TASS said. Homes in the Kostroma region of
northern Russia are often made of wood. lpt/sst/rmb AFP
