Employees of Wildberries warehouse in Ryazan, Russia, were urgently evacuated on July 29 due to a fire, sparking concerns among customers and media about the future operations of the distribution center. Following the incident, Wildberries issued an official statement announcing that package reception at this logistics point has been temporarily halted and products have been removed from sale.

The Telegram channel "WB Partners" clarified that specialists are working on accurately displaying product inventory levels, with the company aiming to resolve the issue soon. As a temporary measure, shipments can be redirected to the warehouse in Vladimir.

The evacuation took place in Tyushevskoye rural settlement in compliance with safety regulations. A correspondent from "Ryazan News" reported from the scene that smoke from the warehouse was visible from several kilometers away, access roads were blocked, and firefighting efforts were underway.

Employees were led through a forest strip to a nearby café and then transported by bus. Many did not have time to collect their personal belongings and documents, which remained in the changing room. Some workers who had come from other cities for their shift found themselves in a difficult situation, unable to leave or find accommodation until the situation was resolved.

"Our passports, phones, all our belongings and documents are still in the changing room. We are not allowed to retrieve them. We were told to wait until noon and we cannot leave. We were given a phone to call our families. However, all our belongings are still on the warehouse premises. We have nowhere to stay. We hope they will help us or return our belongings," said a man and a woman who had traveled from Podolsk to Ryazan.

The company continues to update its partners on the situation.
