And what we have? Here in Siberia and Yakutia burns more than a million hectares of forest, but nobody moves.

One reason for the rapid spread of the fire was the order of the RF Ministry of Natural Resources "On approval of the forest fire extinguishing rules", in force since 2015. It was then coined the term "control zone" or "monitoring zone": the so-called areas in which fires can not extinguish, if it is determined that the fire does not pose an immediate threat to populated areas and economic facilities, and the costs of the fight will be more than the potential for harm.

In general, according to our authorities, Taiga is burning - and let it burn.
