In Lviv Oblast, rescuers extinguished 39 dry grass fires in one day, March 23, which destroyed more than 4 hectares of dry grass.
During one of the fires, a commercial building burned down, and the fire almost destroyed 3 houses, reports the main administration of the State Emergency Service in the Lviv region on Facebook.
The press service said that in the village of Maly Polyukhiv, Lviv district, a fire from burning dry grass lasted for about 4 hours. It was liquidated by 4 rescuers and 1 unit of special equipment.
"The building was not destroyed by the hands of the occupiers, it is our Galician "masters" who are burning the dry grass," the press service emphasized. – Very often dry burning turns into large-scale fires, where the fire spreads to residential buildings, where the fire takes people's lives."
The State Emergency Service emphasized that it was possible to save 3 buildings.
In the message, March 23 was called a hellish day, because the cause of the fires was human negligence.
The press service emphasized that violators will be fined for setting fire to dry grass:
- for citizens from UAH 3,060 to UAH 6,120;
- for officials UAH 15,300 to UAH 21,420.
"Such management brings only trouble," the rescuers emphasized.
EcoPolitic has collected for its readers the main arguments about why it is absolutely impossible to smoke dry grass in the spring.
