Two brigades were sent for intelligence. Firefighters used a fire engine and a forest firewall with a caterpillar tractor on the traw. But a small distance of 3 km was not so easy to overcome.

“The equipment had to be put on a joke when the river blocked the path. They crossed her. Then they walked through the swamp and uphill“, – They told the press service.

But the difficulties did not end there. The fire spread in a mixed forest with steep descents and climbs. Therefore, I had to request help. Another 12 employees from the Pirovsky air department and the forest fire station arrived in the morning.
