Fires erupt again in the forests of the “Stolychnyi Forest Office” branch due to enemy attacks

Debris from drones caused ignition points, which were quickly extinguished by the foresters of SFE “Forests of Ukraine.”

1.Radynske forestry, Ivankivske Forestry Management Unit (Kyiv Region)

The fire spread over 1.4 hectares of forest. Extinguishing efforts were complicated by the risk of secondary detonation at the drone crash site. Two fire trucks, two firefighting modules, a tractor with a plow, and 12 forest protection workers were involved. The new equipment purchased by the enterprise over the past two years proved very helpful. This was the second time in September that the Ivankivske Forest District suffered from the consequences of enemy attacks.

2.Davydkivske forestry, Ovrutske Forestry Management Unit(Zhytomyr Region)

The fire covered an area of over 0.5 hectares. Two fire trucks, two tractors with plows, and 10 foresters were involved in extinguishing it. The blaze broke out a few hours after the drone crash. In September, this district had already recorded several fires caused by hostilities.

Foresters emphasize: do not touch weapon debris and do not attempt to extinguish fires on your own. It is vital to immediately notify the relevant services.

New equipment and the high level of preparedness of foresters make it possible to swiftly contain fires, helping to save forests and minimize the damage from attacks.
