In connection with a significant increase in air temperature in Ukraine last week in most areas of the state was dominated by high (grade 5) fire danger. Thus increased the threat of emergence of fires in natural ecosystems (forests, peatlands, agricultural lands, open country). Only during July 11-17, the number of such fires has doubled, and their area by 4 times. It was recorded 1158 fires in natural ecosystems over a total area of almost 1,200 hectares. this was announced during a briefing Director of the Department of emergency response state emergency service of Ukraine Volodymyr Demchuk. “In the zone of alienation and unconditional (required’obligatory) resettlement, where on 16 July near the village of Buryakivka fire, currently not fixed open fire. The fire is localized. The observed decay of the forest floor separate foci in the area of 6 hectares. The threat of proliferation is not. To eliminate the fire attracted from SES 18 vehicles and about 100 personnel. At SV’connection with deterioration of weather conditions the aircraft is not involved. By the end of 18 July will be the complete elimination of the fire", - said Vladimir Demchuk. In addition, currently work is continuing to extinguish the fire in the forest area Novoaydarsky Lugansk region. The fire localized to the area of 49 hectares. Braising is complicated by the proximity to the line of demarcation, minefields, high temperatures and strong winds. The main reasons of emergence of fires in natural ecosystems is the burning of dry vegetation, the violation of citizens fire safety rules during their stay in forests and peatlands, the violation of fire safety rules during carrying out agricultural works. Therefore, the Director of the Department of emergency response state emergency service of Ukraine Volodymyr Demchuk once again appealed to the citizens with a request to comply with fire safety regulations close to the forest and in open areas. Do not burn dry grass and debris on private land. Because the large-scale fire can have negative consequences, both for the environment and for people.
