With the advent of spring, ecosystems flamed across the country. So in the Rivne region, units of the Main Department of the GSNS of the region sometimes have to extinguish 7-11 such fires per day. Each trip to the place of a natural disaster costs several tens of thousands of hryvnias.

A large number of irresponsible citizens ignore the ban on arson of dry vegetation. They are not even stopped by administrative and criminal responsibility. Administrative responsibility for such actions provides a fine from 170 to 1500 UAH. The officials guilty of the fire are fined in the amount of 850 UAH.

If the arson had especially serious consequences, criminal liability in the form of imprisonment for a period of 5 to 10 years may also come. Adopting a law to increase fines can reduce the number of fires in ecosystems.

Firefighters recall that when identifying leaf and garbage incendiaries, you must not be silent. The consequences of such a violation can be manifested in the destruction of soils, birds and animals, as well as rare plants. Often, fires in ecosystems lead to the burning of buildings and death. Therefore, when identifying deadwood arson, call 102.
