The main causes of the fires were human negligence and Russian shelling. In hot and windy weather, even a small fire can spread rapidly, posing a threat to residential buildings, agricultural land and natural ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p>Dry grass, scrub and wheat fields were particularly prone to fire. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/dsns_telegram\/67177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the latest figures<\/a> The State Emergency Service deployed over a thousand rescue workers and around 240 pieces of specialist equipment to tackle the fires. The rescue workers\u2019 main task was to prevent the flames from spreading to built-up areas, fields and private homes.<\/p>\n<h2>A call for caution<\/h2>\n<p>Rescue workers are reminding members of the public of the need to strictly observe fire safety rules. It is essential not to burn dry vegetation, not to throw cigarette ends or matches onto roadsides or in fields, not to use open flames near crops, and to ensure that agricultural machinery is in good working order. <strong>The law provides for administrative liability for the burning of dry vegetation<\/strong>. Fines for members of the public range from 3,060 to 6,120 hryvnias, whilst those for public officials can be as high as 30,600 hryvnias. Within nature reserve areas, the fine can be as high as 12,240 hryvnias.<\/p>\n<h2>Why it matters<\/h2>\n<p>Through <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/suspilstvo\/spheka-zagrozhue-energosystemi\/\">unusually hot weather<\/a> and with strong winds, the risk of fire in Ukraine remains extremely high.
