Deputy Head of the Department for the Organization of Supervisory and Preventive Measures of the Department of Supervisory Activities and Preventive Work of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the Republic of Tatarstan, Lieutenant Colonel of the Internal Service Sadykov Ayrat Sadykov, told reporters of the republican media today at a briefing at the Tatar-inform news agency. He began his speech with the situation with fires on the territory of the republic.
Every year in April, the number of fires associated with the ignition of dry grass and garbage in rural settlements, forest park zones, farmland and household plots increases.
After the snow melts in the fields, dead wood appears near the forests, which carries the threat of the spread of fires with the transition to forests and settlements. A significant part of the fires occurs due to the uncontrolled burning of last year's dry grass, reeds, straw and garbage).
