This week, firefighters in the Odesa region extinguished over 200 fires in natural areas and open spaces. The flames destroyed about 345 hectares of land, which, according to the State Ecological Inspection of the Southwestern District, caused damages exceeding 30 billion hryvnias.

We emphasize the following:

  • Do not burn dry grass and waste!

  • Keep an eye on your children!
  • Immediately report fires by calling 101!

By following these simple rules, we can protect our land from fire!
