Reindeers saved from fire by forestry firefighters in Kamchatka
A fire in the tundra of Tigil district of Kamchatka region had almost destroyed the facilities of "Revival and development of reindeer heerding."

Forestry firefighters and husbandry workers managed to save the main base of reindeer herders, despite the unfavorable weather conditions.

On June 7th the direction of wind suddenly changed. After that, the fire that was raging far from facilities, got very close to them. The concerted action of firefighters saved the husbandry from fire. The husbandry is one of the most important economic objects of Kamchatka. Its cost is more than 75 million rubles.

There is still high level of fire danger in Kamchatka region. Special fire prevention regime introduced in Sobolevo, Milkovo, Tigil and Ust-Kamchatsk districts.
