At least one person was killed and three others were injured when a huge fire engulfed 65 houses and buildings in Russia's Far East, Emergency Situations Ministry said Friday.

"As a result, one resident in the village found dead, another was hospitalized with burns and two more were being treated from heart problems," a local emergency situations department spokesman was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.

Furthermore, 65 houses and buildings have been destroyed by fire in the town of Tygda in the northeastern Russian region of Amur.

According to preliminary investigation, grass burning and stormy wind have caused the fire.

Earlier it was reported that the huge fire spread to at least 75 houses and buildings.

"The situation has stabilized by now. The fire has stopped spreading," head of the ministry's crisis center Vladimir Stepanov told reporters, adding that homeless people would be temporarily accommodated at a school and a rehabilitation center with provided food and other necessities.

Deputy Emergency Situations Minister Alexander Chupriyan would also fly to the Amur region, according to Stepanov.
