A forest fire
Firefighters and rescuers in Russia's Far East extinguished 10 forest fires over the past 24 hours and continue battling 13 more fires, a spokesman for the regional emergencies ministry's department
said on Wednesday.
"As of 8:00 local time on Wednesday [21:00 GMT Sunday] 13 forest fires continue raging in the Far East covering an area of 8.1 hectares," the spokesman said.
Wildfires in forested regions of Russia are common during the dry and hot summer season. Most of the time, the fires start because of the careless behavior of local residents in the woods.
Wildfires devastated a number of regions in central Russia last summer, killing 62 people and leaving thousands homeless.
