"A helicopter is circling above us. There is practically nothing to breathe, the forest is burning around ... We are afraid of the wind most of all," she said.
According to her, yesterday the fire approached the village from two private sawmills in just a couple of hours, local residents tried, among other things, to extinguish the houses on their own.
"I was in the midst of a fire. My daughter called me and asked me to pick up my grandson - the fire was already approaching them. I ran headlong: houses were burning on one side of the road, a store on the other. I was drenched in heat, like in a frying pan. The neighboring dwelling was already on fire. At first I thought it was my daughter's house and I lost her. In the end, we defended it. The son-in-law sat on the tractor and began to move everything that was burning nearby to the side, "Chernyshova said.
She noted that hundreds of people were left without homes.
Earlier it was reported that the UK opened two cases on the fact of a fire in the village of Sosva in the Sverdlovsk region.
