Vehicles to the forest can not be

Pereyaslav region has not remembered such hot weather: Day in the shadows-up to 30 degrees. The danger of fires has been catastrotically.

In connection with this governor of Kyiv region and the chairman of Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky Rayon State Administration issued an order on restriction and prohibition of visit of forest arrays by the population and prohibition of arrival to the territory of the Forestry Fund of Vehicles.

Control over the execution of these orders on forestry enterprises. So, the forest is under lock.

We are asked: why is it done and how long will the ban be? This is done in order to avoid forest fires. After all, most holiday-makers are not without fires, and in such hot weather, even careless thrown a shortage can lead to distress.

In forests, especially conifers, the fourth and even fifth highest class of fire Hazard was announced. Therefore, it was decided to restrict the access of the population and prohibit the entry of vehicles into the coniferous forest plantations, and first of all, in the newlyweds.

Recall that in accordance with the law, violation of the requirements of fire safety in the forests envisages administrative or even criminal liability to compensate the culprit of damages.

As long as the ban of forest plantations is prohibited, it depends only on weather conditions.

There are permanent groups of forestry workers, law enforcement agencies operating at the forest-protected areas. Among other their tasks are revealing and bringing to administrative responsibility of violators of fire safety rules. In forestry there are two forest fire stations, which are equipped with three fire trucks, four tractors with plows, three pumps and other means of fire extinguishing.

98 unplanned roads, which pass through the forested arrays, are blocked. There is a 24-hour alternation in units of forestry, alternating on fire towers in places, from which the forested arrays are well visible.

Pereyaslav-Lysivshchyna appeal to the population with a request to defer the trip to the forest to the best times, with an understanding of the work of forestry in this fire-hazardous period.

The forest is our common wealth, so let’s save it for our children and grandchildren.
