YEKATERINBURG, January 31 (RIA Novosti) - Eight people, including four children, died on Saturday in a fire in Russia's Sverdlovsk Region in the Urals, a local police spokesman said.
"The Burkov family - the father, the mother, their two grandchildren born in 2001 and 2006, their son, daughter-in-law and their two children - died in the fire in a private house in the rural settlement of Klevakino," Valery Gorelykh said.
He added that the only member of the family to survive was the couple's daughter, who was in Yekaterinburg at the time.
He said the fire was probably caused by unsafe use of a heater.
