Having received introductory, paratroopers-firefighters promptly proceed to extinguish the fire. At the same time, reconnaissance of the state of the fire is carried out from the air, the prospect of its development is assessed, the spread of fire and the progress of extinguishing are monitored, and the alignment of forces and means along the perimeter of the fire is adjusted.

An operational firefighting headquarters is created at the site of the fire, which collects, processes and analyzes data on the situation on the fire, takes into account and distributes forces and means among the combat areas, and develops an extinguishing plan.

After a long and stubborn struggle in all areas, the active edge of the fire was stopped, and work is underway to localize and extinguish individual fires.
