Dagestan has failed to pass the inspection of the Ministry for Environment and the Federal Forestry Agency. Not a single one of the 5 fire planes was found. There were only 4 out of 25 fire stations operating, Kommersant reports.
No fire barriers, fire drills or dry grass monitoring was organized. The Dagestani forestry committee insists that all the flaws were rectified. It added that there were insufficient finances to organize fire safety.
