The authorities of Transbaikalia reported on preparations for the fire season

Preparations for the 2026 fire season in the Trans-Baikal Territory will be carried out continuously. The goal of the authorities is to maximize the security of the region, Governor Alexander Osipov said in his Telegram.

"We have strengthened the teams on the ground. Since the summer, more than 600 firefighters have been trained — these are new qualified personnel for rapid response in each municipality," said the head of the region.

The fleet of vehicles has also been updated, Osipov added. Firefighters received new bulldozers, tractors and trawls to create fire barriers, writes ChitaMedia news agency.

Digital management has also been established in Transbaikalia and agreements have been reached with subsurface users. A single coordination center has appeared in the region, and equipment and employees of mining companies will help firefighters in case of a threat.

Earlier it was reported that fire-fighting gaps will be created in Transbaikalia from the forest to all settlements. This is necessary for effective forest fire control.
