In Krasnoyarsk region began the season of forest fires

In the Krasnoyarsk region with the onset of spring the season of forest fires. Now the causes of fires, mostly not extinguished braziers and cigarette butts, but it does happen and arson. MOE and local residents decided to fight fire together.

The fire on the outskirts of the village of Branching in the Krasnoyarsk region to stop the volunteers from local residents. The village buildings the flames did not reach only a few tens of meters. The cause of the fire remains to be established. Come spring - this is not the first fire in the surrounding fields.

The smoke from the fire caught this, so the focus is not managed to grow to catastrophic proportions. As it happened, for example, in the Amur region. Where the instigators of grass had to introduce special fire-prevention mode in 26 settlements. Burning forests and fields extinguish nearly one hundred rescuers. And new centers are looking for drones.

All the big fires while blaze away from populated areas. But the situation could worsen. The locals understand this well and prepare their village as if for a siege. Plowed strip with a width of several meters have to protect the village from fire, which can come from abandoned fields and get too close to the village. Such protection is now organizing around all settlements. The owners of the tractors of the barrier strip pitch voluntarily. The local village Council only pays for diesel fuel.

In windy and hot days in the villages where there are no fire stations people themselves arrange night shifts. To danger not to waste time, tanks in advance fill with water. If the fire is approaching the village such measures will help to hold out until the arrival of fire brigades.
