Fire warning

It is scary when everything is on fire. It is even scarier when a fire takes place in a forest and on peatlands, covering vast areas.

An abandoned fire, a burning match thrown onto a dry leaf mulch or into peat can cause a fire. Moreover, the source of the fire may be tens and hundreds of kilometers from a dwelling zone, and its scale becomes clear when huge areas of the forest are already burning. Smoke from such fires (especially in open areas) is carried by the wind for dozens of kilometers.

In order to prevent fires in the natural environment, it is prohibited to:

• - throw burning matches, cigarette ends, smoldering rags in the forest.
• - to make a fire in heavy tree growth and young coniferous forest, under low-hanging tree crowns, next to timber and peat warehouses, in the immediate vicinity of crops harvest.
• - leave self-combusting material in the forest: rags soaked in oil or gasoline, glassware that can focus the sunbeam and ignite dry vegetation in sunny weather.
• - burn dry grass in forest glades, gardens, fields, on trees.
• - set fire to reeds.
• - make a fire in windy weather and leave it unattended.
• - leave the fire burning after leaving the parking lot.

If a natural fire is detected, try to eliminate the source of fire on your own; if this fails, quickly leave the danger area. Be sure to report the place of the fire to “Ivanovo Timber Company” LLC and forestry department by these numbers:
