Forest fire protection exercises to be held in Dagestan

Exercises for the prevention of forest fires will be held in 22 forest districts of Dagestan until the end of April.

They will be attended by more than 300 people: employees, representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, volunteers and school forestry units. Such exercises have already been held in Buynaksk.

"These activities are carried out due to the fact that a number of  incidents of dried grass burning near the forest increased in the region," RIA Dagestan cited  the press service of the Dagestani committee for forest economy as saying.
