Information about the fire that occurred in the Karaganda region

The fourth day there is a fight against a large fire that crossed the territory of the 16th quarter of the Baktinsky forestry, Karkaraly GNPP. Due to the strong wind, the fire quickly spread to other quarters of the forestry. Extinguishing a fire is complicated by difficult terrain, poor visibility, and strong gusts of wind (up to 16 m / s). To extinguish the fire, helicopters of the first class Mi-171 and Mi 8 with a spillway device on an external sling were involved. The fire was monitored from the air. It was decided to attract additional forces and means to combat the fire element. The forces and assets of neighboring natural parks were attracted. To date, paratroopers-firefighters of the Karkaraly aviation branch, the forces and means of the Karkaraly State GNPP, employees of the SNNP Bayanauyl and Buyratau, voluntary fire groups, the local population, parts of the national guard, and emergency forces have been involved in fighting the fire. The fire area is about 2870 ha, of which the state forest fund is 2070 ha. In the Karkaraly district, a natural emergency regime is still in effect. More than 300 people, more than 60 pieces of equipment, Mi-171 CoES and Mi-8 and Mi-2 of the Kazavialesoohrana State Public Enterprise were involved in putting out the fire. Extinguishing fire is underway.������� ��� dle������� ������
