STORYLINE:
Kostroma residents on Sunday brought flowers to the site of a deadly fire at a cafe in the Russian city as authorities continued their investigations into the blaze.
Saturday's fire in the large cafe killed 13 people and injured nine others, local authorities said.
Members of the Russian Investigative Committee continued work at the site on Sunday as locals brought flowers and candles.
"I didn't sleep last night," said local resident Natalia Nekrasova, adding: "This is scary. I couldn't just stay at home and not come here at this moment."
A day of mourning has been announced in the region on 7 November.
Kostroma, a riverside city of 270,000, is 340 kilometers (210 miles) north of Moscow.
Firefighters spent five hours battling the blaze, and a dozen residents of nearby residential buildings were evacuated as a precaution.
The blaze erupted in the early hours after someone apparently used a flare gun, according to the authorities.
The Russian state news agency RIA Novosti reported that a brawl erupted in the cafe shortly before the fire, but it wasn't immediately clear if it had anything to do with the flare gun.
Russia's Investigative Committee, which investigates major crimes, said a suspect, a 23-year-old man, had been detained for allegedly firing the flare gun and that the cafe's director also was being held.
Ikhtiyar Mirzoyev, a member of the regional legislature and owner of the cafe, has promised assistance to those affected by the fire.
