At this moment, forty rescuers, as well as civilians are continuing land firefighting works.
The works after extinguishing the fire in Khosrov Reserve continue. In the result of a survey by a Defence Ministry helicopter, a decision was made to continue the flights by Il-76. Now the plane is in the middle of its 13th flight. As yesterday’s rain was short and at this moment no precipitation is expected, the aim of air firefighting is to guarantee safe zones and humid environment around single fire seats to exclude their rekindling. At this moment, forty rescuers, as well as civilians are continuing land firefighting works.
