On January 1 the Volga Federal District emergencies ministry reported that on New Year's Eve some 35 people had been killed in fires and traffic accidents. A further 91 people were reported injured.
The ministry said that two people died in a house fire in the Saratov District on Sunday and in the Orenburg Region another two people died in a blaze in a four-story apartment block.
The ministry said the cause of the fires was being investigated.
The emergencies ministry in Moscow has also reported a spate of apartment fires in the Russian capital that have claimed the lives of at least 16 people since the New Year.
A high-ranking ministry official said on Sunday that the main cause for the fires was smoking in bed while drunk. He warned Muscovites to be extremely careful as "there is a week left until the end of the holidays."
