The Lviv Regional Center for Hydrometeorology has announced that high (class 4) fire danger is expected in the city on August 14-16.
As a reminder, unauthorized burning of dry vegetation, which is prohibited in Ukraine, is punishable by a fine of UAH 3,060 to 6,120, and officials are fined UAH 15,300 to 21,420. For the same actions committed on the territory of nature reserves, arsonists face a fine of UAH 6,120 to 12,240. And in wartime, such actions are equated with sabotage, which entails criminal liability (imprisonment for a term of 10 to 15 years).
We also remind people to call 102 and 103 if they see dry vegetation burning or arsonists.
