In Volovets district there was a forest fire drill

In the Dumka tract, near Huklyve in Volovets state forestry, a fire started in the forest. A group of misguided tourists descended from the slope and ended up in front of the fire. Also, the fire could spread to other parts of the forest…

The heat and the constant threat of fires in the undergrowth, where there is dry grass and bushes, was the reason for this legend for joint training of forest fire fighters and the State Emergencies Service in Transcarpathian region. Fortunately, this year there has not been any major forest fires in the region – but every day rescuers record up to ten cases of dry grass fire. Since the beginning of the year, in Transcarpathia 8 forests fires have occurred, about 65 acres of dry trees have burned down, healthy trees were not affected – the rescuers report.
