Description
Images show volunteers bringing water and putting out small flames to help fight forest fires in the Sverdlovsk region in the Russian Urals. Images also show residents at a temporary shelter after they were moved from localities threatened by the flames and the smoke. According to the local branch of the emergencies ministry, over 50 forest fires were blazing in the region, amounting to a total area of 81,000 acres under fire. A little over 2,800 people, among which nearly a quarter were ministry staff, and over 500 "units of equipment," including aviation, were deployed on the ground across the region.
