Kazakhstan — In Pavlodar, fire engineering services are paying a lot of attention to the «Yertys ormany» natural park, which had two islands of fire. The largest fire appeared in the Kokzhalsky forest district of the Beskaragai department. The staff of the forest district saw the smoke in the pine forest from the tower. Immediately several road tankers, tractors with ploughs and containers with water were sent to the island of fire. At the same time, the «Kazlesookhrana» sent a Mi-2 helicopter for the reconnaissance of the spread of fire. Officials of the natural park said that due to the heavy wind, blows of which reached 25 metres per second, they are faced with a crown fire. However, the staff of the forest district and fire fighters from neighbouring residential areas were able to isolate the fire.
