Belarus hid the fire: Independent journalists from the Belsat agency report that the Belarusian Ministry of Emergency Situations (MCZS) does not provide information on the fire of the largest swamps of Europe. From the materials contained in social media, it can be seen that Olmansk, the largest wild peat bogs in Europe are burning. Meanwhile row reports about other fires.
There is a message: The authorities reported that there was a fire around the swamps. They even reported that “the fire surface was 10 hectares of forest and 40 hectares of grass and shrubs.” However, the swamps were not mentioned. Three Mi-8, Mi-17 and Mi-26 helicopters were to take part in the extinguishing of these areas, which They made 54 water screens. MI-26 is special, which can lose 15 tons of water at one time. Now forest workers and MCZS have extinguish forests. It was assured that the fire was controlled. The situation was difficult, because the fire was to be taken very quickly by the large area of the forest, whose extinguishing was difficult due to the lack of access roads.
Belarus manipulates the facts? “The services of the Alaxandra Lukashenko regime did not inform the society about the weight of the threat as a standard. The village of Stara lies on the northern edge of the Błota Olmańskie Landscape Reserve, and forests and swamps under the town are already in a protected area” – I'm writing Belast. “These suspicions are confirmed by recordings made during the firefighting action since yesterday. On helicopters on helicopters You can see not the forest, but above all wetlands” – they add.
Nature is burning: The fire was overwhelmed by forests near Minsk. Firefighters' brigades also work at night. Their work is hindered by strong wind and drought weather. The fire can be digested forests and peat bogs in the Brest and Homelings in the south of Belarus. The worst is in the Territories of the home, which in 1986 was tainted nuclear during the Chernobyl disaster. As a result of a fire radioactive isotopes float in the air and spread to the wind. The authorities have not yet given the causes of fires. According to government data, in the last 24 hours in Belarus, 16 forest fires have been extinguished on a total area of 23.3 hectares, 1 peat fire on an area of 0.2 hectares and 88 grass and shrub fires on a total area of 32.98 hectares.
