Forest fires again

The season of massive fires in natural areas of Russia began, and now the breaks will not be until at least late October. Currently, among wildfires completely dominated the dry grass and reeds fires - they are the most widespread in the southern regions of European Russia, in Kaliningrad region and the south of Primorsky Krai. The daily number of large grass fires is in hundreds, but a week later the number will rise in ten times. A week ago at least two summer houses and outbuildings in the south of Primorsky Krai were burned by dry grass fires. Firefighters managed to defend the oil tanks cane in Kaliningrad from reed fire, as well as the pipeline - from the fall of dry grass. In some regions the first small forest fires are already recorded. The smoldering peat in drained peatlands affected by last year's peat-forest fires in regions.
