21 wildfires in ecosystems recorded in Lviv region in a day

In Lviv region, 21 wildfires in ecosystems were recorded over the past 24 hours. This was reported by the Main Department of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Lviv region.

Rescue workers note that such fires destroy vegetation and all living things in their path, and also pose a serious threat to people, residential buildings and outbuildings.

According to the State Emergency Service, one of the main causes of these fires is human negligence – carelessly discarded cigarette butts and matches, as well as deliberate burning of dry vegetation.

Rescue workers once again urge residents of the region: do not burn dry grass, rubbish or plant waste, as fire can get out of control in a matter of minutes, with irreparable consequences.

If you spot a fire, the rescue service asks you to call 101 immediately.
