The duty of representatives of the fire services of the Russian Federation is to protect the peace of citizens and the integrity of the environment in the conditions of the formed seasonal fire hazard of increased type.

In particular, the rescuers of the Altai Territory are highly responsible for their service, as reported by the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry for Emergency Situations of the region.

As part of their service, Altai firefighters eliminated the consequences that led to the illegal actions of one of the local farmers. We are talking about an agrarian who decided to get rid of dry stubble in his area with the help of fire.

To remove the stems that remained on the ground after harvesting last year’s crop, it occurred to the farmer-entrepreneur from the village of Kuzminka, located in the Zmeinogorsk region of the region. The flame that engulfed the land of the landowner was very difficult to localize and extinguish.

Otherwise, it could have been transferred to the village of Kuzminki with all its buildings, household objects, animals and residents. At the approach to the village, firefighters pacified the raging flames.

The farmer, who intended to clear the field with the "express method", will now bear administrative responsibility for his actions. Burning stubble in an unspecified manner will cost him a fine in the amount of about 30 thousand rubles.
