Description
As thick clouds of smoke billow across the vast Siberian region of Yakutia, Yegor Zakharov and his team from Russia's Aerial Forest Protection Service are racing to stop its smouldering forests from burning even more. The firefighters use controlled burns and patrol a five-kilometre (three-mile) trench they had dug at the edge of the village of Byas-Kyuel to keep an approaching wildfire at bay.
