The beginning of a fire hazard annually causes anxiety and anxiety to foresters. As a natural disaster, they are waiting for the spring peak of fires in April-May, which are caused by the massive burning of dry grass vegetation in the fields, wilderness, along the roads. And this at a time when the forest enterprises have not yet completed the installation of mineralized bands, other fire prevention measures have not been carried out in full, no new grass cover has appeared. Then there is the largest number of forest fires. Weather conditions for the fire-hazard period of 2018 on the territory of Ukraine are abnormal. Sharp warming caused increased activity of citizens who have actively started garden work. Spring holidays help to leave the towns "in the nature" and, most of all, to the forest.

Last year for these two spring months, on the territory of the State Enterprise "Vyshhudubechansky forestry", 6 cases occurred on the area of ​​0.18 hectares, which is 32% of the total number of forest fires of the past year.

The State Enterprise "Vyshchudubechansky forestry" last year completed a plan for organizational and technical fire protection measures: 458 km of mineralized strips were arranged, 907 km were cared for. Overgrown unscheduled forest roads, on the entrances to the forest and along roads, were set up shelters on the fire theme.

On weekends and holidays, during high-fire days in coniferous forests, a raid was conducted to detect violators of the rules of fire safety in the forests to prevent the occurrence of fires. Thus, 46 raids were conducted by the State Forest Guard officers, during which 75 offenders were identified and fined for a total amount of 6,375 UAH.

By the way, fines for violating the fire safety rules range from 85 to 170 UAH. In addition, the guilty is obliged to pay the state losses caused by a forest fire.

Forest workers have been constantly preventive work among the population and in the media.

However, in 2017, there were 19 forest fires in the territory of the enterprise with a total area of ​​1.27 hectares. The average area of ​​one fire is 0.07 g, which indicates a fairly high operational efficiency of the fire fighting service of the State Enterprise "Vyshchebudskij forestry".

Significant assistance to foresters in identifying forest fires was provided by the population.

So, if you notice smoke or fire, do not leave it unattended. Report to the forestry, forestry, fire department, village council or police department.  The forest will always pay you for salvation: in summer heat – cool, in autumn – mushrooms and berries, and at any time – clean air.
