Meanwhile, he noted that forest fires in the Ryazan region are flaring up.
“The fire breaks out: a large number of foci over a large area, crown fires, hard-to-reach places for extinguishing,” TASS quoted him as saying.
On Monday, August 22, Sobyanin, together with the deputy head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Ilya Denisov, arrived at the place of extinguishing fires in the Ryazan region, due to which smog has been observed in Moscow for the last week.
