"Open burning has been eliminated, spilling of smoldering areas is underway," RIA Novosti reports.
As noted, the fight against the fire was complicated by the fact that the equipment could not drive to the place of fire, and the strong wind accelerated the spread of fire.
The prosecutor's office keeps the situation with the elimination of the fire under control.
Earlier, a fire broke out in the Saratov region on an area of 2 hectares in the Khvalynsky National Park.
