A resident of a village in the Minusinsk District faces a fine for “opening the season” of forest fires

In the Minusinsk Municipal District, a local resident was ordered to reimburse the costs of extinguishing a landscape fire.

The fire occurred in mid-March on a plot of land in the village of Soldatovo. According to the regional prosecutor's office, household waste was burned at the site. The fire spread to dry grass and spread to an area of ​​11 hectares. This landscape fire was the first in the region this year.

The inspection showed that the owner of the farm violated fire safety requirements. She did not clear the area around the burning site, did not separate it from dry grass, and did not properly equip the area. As a result, the usual burning of waste led to a fire that had to be extinguished by firefighters using special equipment.

The woman has already been fined 5 thousand rubles for violating fire safety rules. In addition, the prosecutor's office filed a claim to recover the costs of eliminating the fire. These included labor costs, maintenance of equipment and fuel. According to the court decision, the resident must pay 31 thousand rubles.
