Stavropol region to strengthen fire safety measures in forests due to heat

In the Stavropol Territory, measures to prevent wildfires will be strengthened against the background of the prevailing hot weather. The relevant instructions were given by the head of the region, Vladimir Vladimirov, according to his social networks.

The heads of municipalities will have to re-check the condition of mineralized strips and fields around forests and settlements. These protective barriers are one of the key elements of protection against the spread of fire.
