Did this really happen: Fire at the Proton pad (Luch-2)

• Did this really happen: Fire at the Proton pad (Luch-2) by Stan Black on 22 Jan, 2009 19:09
• Can't find any other references to this:-
  
  22nd May 1995:  the fire at the Proton pad at Baikonur in February which destroyed a Luch-2 relay satellite, but which officially "never happened". James Oberg
  
  Just that the next satelite in this series was Gelios no. 2 (НОВОСТИ КОСМОНАВТИКИ 1999 7)
  
  And that a Proton rocket is missing - serial 36802
  
  Are these events connected?
