Various temple utensils was particularly large for the needs of the commission of sacred worship, because that service has become part of the event and held on holidays, Sundays, and at the request of the faithful parishioners.

June 26, 1901 the outstanding features of the hot weather, accompanied by strong gusts of wind .  Due to strong hurricane one of the peasant houses caught fire and the flames spread so quickly that it was not possible to put it out .  The presence of wind with increasing force helped the flames move from one house to another, burning everything in its path - will soon almost the entire village was dominated by fire and many attempts to prevent the fire did not end successfully .  In the power of fire appeared and church with bell tower, with the burnt iconostasis with icons, numerous church utensils and only a small part of household items was saved .  But the great event marked the sad fate of the village - the icon of Kazan Mother of God appeared survived - soon she found the villagers among piles of burned objects .  The holy icon until today pleases the faithful parishioners, while the iconostasis of the Holy Temple of Kazan .  After all the events villagers vowed an annual event on the day of the terrible conduct moleben to the Lord God and his mother for their salvation from the merciless crushing flame fire . 

After the fire, local villagers have spent a lot of effort to restore their population. Ordeal became fierce winter, which had to endure only a few huts. Since the temple is also burned in the fire, we had to build a new wooden church. In the fall of 1906 built temple was consecrated in honor of Our Lady of Kazan.
