Forecasters warn of extreme fire danger in the coming days
The Lviv Regional Center for Hydrometeorology reported that an extreme (class 5) fire hazard is expected in the city and region on May 2-4.
We urge you to take this into account and follow fire safety rules.
The City Department for Emergency Situations, Civil Protection and Territorial Defense reminds that unauthorized burning of dry vegetation, which is prohibited in Ukraine, is punishable by a fine of UAH 3,060 to 6,120, and for officials – 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 10 to 15 years).
