"KAZAKH BASE FOR AVIATION PROTECTION OF FORESTS AND FOREST SERVICE"
Regular site version
On April 10, 2020, the Bayanaul aviation branch took part in a review of the institutions and divisions of the Bayanaul District responsible for organizing the suppression of large forest fires in the territory of the Bayanaul State National Natural Park. During the event, the equipment and readiness of organizations for emergency response (major forest fires) were checked. The review was attended by: Bayanaul Emergency Situations Department, Bayanaul GNPP and Bayanaul aviation branch of the State Enterprise "Kazavialesoohrana". The audit was organized by the Pavlodar OTI in conjunction with the Department of Emergencies in the Pavlodar region, according to the Plan to attract forces and means to extinguish forest fires on the lands of the Bayanaul GNPP.
The engagement of forces and means of fire protection units and emergency rescue units, other forces and means is carried out when an emergency mode is introduced in the territory of the region or the corresponding municipal district or if there are a number of forest fires that cannot be extinguished by firefighters themselves.
Fire extinguishing actions start from the moment a fire message is received and are considered completed upon returning the units to the place of permanent deployment, alerting the duty guard and equipment, and include:
1. receiving and processing calls;
2. departure and following to the place of a call (fire);
3. fire reconnaissance;
4. rescue, evacuation of people and property;
5. deployment of forces and means;
6. localization and elimination of combustion;
7. performance of special, emergency rescue and emergency operations during emergency response;
8. collection and return to units.
It is worth noting that actions to extinguish forest fires are carried out in accordance with fire extinguishing tactics, the requirements of the safety and labor protection rules for fighting fires, and can be carried out under conditions of high psychological and physical stress, increased risk, and direct danger to the life and health of the participants in the fire.
Appearance
The length of her body ranges from 105 to 210 mm, the short tail is short, its length reaches 11-30 mm, is covered with long hair, eyes and ears are small; mustache is dark, medium in size. The wool of a yellow pestle is sandy or light brown in color, the ends of the hairs are black, which gives the color a dark tint; the belly is lighter; the black dividing strip on the back, characteristic of other hamsters, is absent. Light brown color is an ideal means of camouflage in desert areas. The paws of the animal are covered with hairs, there are small corns on the feet, small claws grow on the fingers of the yellow pestles, the third finger is longer than the rest. Ears and eyes are small. The mustache is medium in length, dark in color.
Behavior and Nutrition
The yellow pestle lives in colonial settlements in burrows, which are a rather complex system of passages, with four to five holes leading to the surface. The main part of the dug tunnels runs at a depth of about 50 cm, below there are only three or four nesting chambers of an oval shape, which the yellow pest is carefully lined with leaves of cereals and wormwood. On the surface, the exits are connected by distinct paths. The pestle spends most of its time in burrows. They do not fall into hibernation; they are most active in the morning when they go out for food. In the diet of yellow pestle, the green parts of cereals prevail, as well as white wormwood, which grows in large numbers in the habitats of the animal. Sometimes the yellow pestle is not averse to eating insects. She obtains food near the exit from the hole, each time tearing out a new one, when everything around is eaten. It stocks food in burrows. In dry years, with a lack of food, the animal moves to higher areas.
Reproduction and longevity
The yellow pestle breeds two to three times a year, pregnancy lasts only 18 days. In one litter, there are from five to eight cubs, which in four weeks are able to give birth to their own children. Until the beginning of the last century, the pestle had a high population, after which the number began to decline for unknown reasons. Reproduction from April to September inclusive, possible throughout the year; pregnancy 17-19 days, the number of embryos 5-8 per female, become sexually mature at the age of about 4 weeks, bring several broods during the summer after 45-55 days.
Enemies
Yellow pestles are a favorite prey for a large number of predators, both land and feathered predators prey on them. Currently, there is practically no information about the pestle, but still sometimes the bones of this animal are found in the remains of the food of predatory animals, which allows us to conclude that this species has not yet become extinct and lives in certain places, leading a secretive lifestyle. All information about the yellow pestle is of great interest. Yellow pestrus is listed in the Red Book of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Including the passing of standards for the physical training of personnel of the airborne fire service, exercises were held to practice exercises to extinguish forest fires with the deployment of fire extinguishing means.
After a long and persistent fight with fire, the fire was localized on an area of 1.5 hectares, the threat to the State Forest Fund was removed. After localization, the fire was handed over to the forest owner for parasitization.
