An interregional emergency regime was introduced in Yakutia and the Irkutsk region

According to him, the decision to introduce the appropriate regime was made by the head of the Russian Emergencies Ministry Yevgeny Zinichev.

"This gives today the opportunity for freer maneuvering by the forces of the federal reserve and gives more prompt decisions in matters of federal funding for fighting forest fires," TASS quotes him.

Earlier it was reported that the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia and Rosleskhoz propose to introduce an interregional emergency regime in Yakutia and the Irkutsk region due to forest fires.
