<p>The remaining 24 patients were safely evacuated to other facilities, and the four medical personnel working at the home were unhurt, they said.</p>
<p>Investigators have not yet determined the cause of the fire, which broke out late on Saturday in Alferovka, a village in the Voronezh region about 350 miles south of Moscow.</p>
<p>The fire in the one-storey brick building was extinguished three hours later.</p>
<p>The fire started in a section of the home dedicated to patients who were unable to walk, emergency services official Igor<br />
Kozbev said on Russian state television.</p>
<p>He said 39 of the patients in the home could not walk and those who were saved were carried out of the building.</p>
<p>All of the patients at the Novokhopersky Neuropsychiatric Home were men and those who died were aged between 46 and 78, according to a list released by the emergency services.</p>
