Moscow. January 9. INTERFAX.RU - A plane from Yekaterinburg landed safely in Sheremetyevo with malfunctions in electric wiring.
Flight attendants of the "Boeing", going from Ekaterinburg to Moscow, coped with a small fire in the cabin during the flight. This was reported to Interfax on Tuesday by a source in emergency services.

Lucky them that it was something that cabin crew could take care of and contain it!
When I was a flight attendant for a major Asian airline, I once discovered a buzzing noise in the ceiling of the plane. It sounded like electrical circuit or wiring overloading (just my guesstimate). We called one of the pilots to see, but he was very reserved about it. Just advised to keep observing. Luckily nothing happened but we logged it before disembarking.

Source claimed that it was some "video surveillance device" that catches fire.

And yet there are folks who cry for wingtip cameras to be retrofitted every time there is a ground incident.

They can and do. It wouldn't be 5v anyway you can only run 5v a few meters before volt drop would see to it not working. I see poorly designed dangerous cameras every day at work but hopefully ones fitted to an aircraft would be designed to be fail safe.
